In no time it seems a woman is stabbed to death and Lexi is on the run. A missing computer disk, Trent Industries’ security guard who is sure Lexi-Alex is the one who killed her, and a whole series of scary characters all figure in the mystery. Lexi-Alex again is caught up in a crime she did not commit. Where Alex may be hiding is something Cole must learn before those who are responsible for the killing find her. During a humdinger storm King Marshall’s house slowly begins sliding into an enormous sink hole taking Lexi with it. Cole arrives in time to remove her from the house, but whether he can protect her from the ones who want to do her in, or from the police who are sure she is guilty may be another matter.
