Nosy, warm-hearted travel agent Campbell Hall gets mixed up in a missing persons case when beloved Nashville socialite Bitsy Carter vanishes during her Mexican vacation.

"Fans of Diane Mott Davidson and Donna Andrews will enjoy this new series" - Booklist

Travel agent Campbell Hale isn't surprised when she hears her good friend, socialite and talented artist Bitsy Carter, has booked a luxury Mexican spa vacation through her agency. Bitsy often takes solo trips abroad, and who'd want to spend February in grey Nashville when they could avoid it?

She is, however, extremely surprised - and extremely worried - when Bitsy doesn't come back.

What could compel warm, friendly Bitsy to run away without telling anyone her plans? And most puzzling of all: what could make her leave her small children behind?

The answers lie in Zihuatanejo, and Campbell barely needs to twist new boyfriend Detective Sam Davis' arm to get him to agree to accompany her there. Campbell's determined to uncover the truth, but will this be a vacation to remember . . . or one to die for?
