Beschreibung
1. Plain Blue, Blue Plains. Mr. Darian Treblot, Sloane Treblot's father, has gone missing. Before retirement, he was the Manager of the Solids Division of Blue Plains Treatment facility in D.C. Was his disappearance a 'truck-theft-gone-bad' or is it something else? His best friend and fellow engineer, Jerome Washington, comes to help in the search. Sloane's mother was also abducted the same night but was found wondering around a Wal-Mart shopping center 60 miles away. Because no one knows exactly how this all happened, Sloane's Uncle Billy asks the local police to keep an eye on his sister-in-law, Mrs. Treblot, and his niece. Sloane is finishing her Ph.D. in history in D.C. and lives with her best friend, Sula. She rushes home when she learns that her parents are missing. The story is the adventure of trying to find Mr. Treblot. The local police allow Jared Thomas, a young police officer on vacation, to stay in the apartment over the garage/equipment shed at the farm for the protection of the Treblots and their extended family gathering for the Labor Day holiday. The two young people develop a friendship/romance and start to investigate the disappearance on their own. Sloane has a startling revelation with both the Labor Day weekend approaching and the anniversary of 9-ll looming. She fears terrorism. The story takes place over about a week's time and is fast moving. It ends with a pursuit, a rescue, a friendship damaged and a new love. 2. Forget-Me-Nots. This is the story of the investigation into the shooting and death of a young police officer. His wife and son don't accept that he is really dead even after a number of years. Sloane is hired as a consultant to an insurance company through the FBI and is looking into the claims. The FBI wants Sloane Treblot and Jared, who are quite skilled on computers, to do an investigation and to sum up all that is known before the seven year anniversary of the officer's death. The two young people wrestle with some strange, overlooked clues involving burned vehicles, bank robberies, changed identities, and forget-me-not flowers. Sloane and Jared investigate this shooting in Virginia and piece together a complicated and complicit situation. Many questions arise as to whether or not the officer is really deceased. There are many twists and turns and a lost love or two along the way. The case is solved. 3. Mary, Mary Quite Contrary. Sloane, again as a part-time insurance investigator, and Jared, as a rookie FBI agent, are invited to review the disappearance of a twelve year old girl who had gone missing four months earlier in a rural area of Virginia. Is she alive or dead? Though a beauty queen, a math whiz and a champion equestrian, the young girl, Mary, seems to have had a chaotic home life. Also, known as a bully at school, she is not mourned by her class mates. Sloane insists that a teenage neighbor be investigated. There is some strain in the budding romance of Jared and Sloane and the resolution of this case does not help the young couple's relationship. The ending offers quite a surprise.
