Summary: A chance encounter with a veteran who knew her father raises disturbing questions about his suicide Nora Watts can't ignore. Hoping to make peace with the past, she goes in search of the truth about her father's life and his violent death. The journey takes her from Vancouver to Detroit where Sam Watts grew up, far from his people and his birthplace. Thanks to a disastrous government policy starting in the 1950s, thousands of Canadian native children like Sam were adopted by American families. In Detroit, Nora discovers that the circumstances surrounding Sam's suicide are more unsettling than she'd imagined. Meanwhile, in Vancouver, former police detective turned private investigator Jon Brazuca is looking into the overdose death of a billionaire's mistress. His search uncovers a ruthless opiate ring and a startling connection to Nora. He has no way to warn or protect her, because she's become a ghost, vanishing completely off the grid. Focused on the mysterious events of her father's past and the clues they provide to her own fractured identity and that of her estranged daughter, Nora may not be able to see the danger heading her way until it's too late.
