On her way to San Francisco to find her brother, Caleb, who went missing three months ago, Camriann Coulter meets Judith and Kenzie, who both have their own mysteries to solve in the booming West Coast city. The women decide to help each other, including rooming together and working at Kenzie's cousin's chocolate factory.

Camri's search for her brother, an attorney, leads her deep into the political corruption of the city--and into the acquaintance of Patrick Murdock, a handsome Irishman who was saved from a false murder charge by Caleb. Patrick challenges all of Camri's privileged beliefs, but he knows more about what happened to her brother than anyone else. Together, they move closer to the truth behind Caleb's disappearance. But as the stakes rise and threats loom, will Patrick be able to protect Camri from the dangers he knows lie in the hidden places of the city?

From the Inside Flap

"The door to my brother's study is locked," Camri said. "Mrs. Wong said Caleb had the only key, but Judith and I searched through his bedroom and found nothing. I'm starting to fear he had the key on him when he disappeared."

Kenzie glanced around the room then leaned down, putting her lips only inches from Camri's ear. "I can open it."

Camri straightened. "How?"

"Well, you know how I helped in my father's store? A boy there taught me how to unlock doors without a key."

"You mean you can pick a lock?" Camri asked in a hush.

She nodded. "I can."

Camri jumped to her feet. "Then come quickly and open the door!"

They made their way to the office door. Kenzie glanced around once again, then quickly went to work on the lock with two hairpins. It took only a few seconds.

"There," she said, stepping back as the door swung open.

Camri stared into the office in disbelief. The room had been ransacked. Papers were strewn everywhere, and some of the furniture had been overturned. Books had been torn from the shelves and left in heaps on the floor.

Behind her, Mrs. Wong gasped. Camri hadn't heard the older woman join them, but it was obvious that Mrs. Wong was just as surprised at the chaos.

"Mr. Caleb did not do this."

"No, I don't imagine he did." Camri turned back to look again at the disorder. "Now we just need to figure out who did. And why."|Tracie Peterson is the bestselling, award-winning author of more than 100 novels.

From the Back Cover

The search for her missing brother leads to the most dangerous part of the city . . .

Camrianne Coulter's brother Caleb is a successful San Francisco attorney. But when three months go by without a word from the usually communicative Caleb, Camri boards a train to the booming West Coast city to find out for herself why he hasn't written. When she arrives at his home, nobody seems to know where he is, or what has become of him.

Camri's search for her brother leads her deep into the political corruption of the city--and into the acquaintance of Patrick Murdock, who Caleb successfully defended from a false murder charge. Getting to know this handsome Irish contractor challenges all of Camri's privileged beliefs, but Patrick is unshakably loyal to her brother, and he seems to know more about what happened to Caleb than anyone else. As the two edge closer to the truth behind Caleb's disappearance, they risk angering the powerful forces that control the city. Can Camri trust Patrick to protect her from the dangers that lie hidden in San Francisco's backstreets?

Another great book from Peterson! I loved seeing these three women come together to help each other in their times of need. I can't wait to read the rest of the series to see all of them find what they're looking for. Very good book!

Camrianne Coulter has arrived in San Francisco to find her brother, Caleb, who has been missing for three months. He is a lawyer for a firm and has successfully defended a poor Irish man charged with murder. Camri’s parents have been so worried about their son that their health has suffered and they both have been confined to their beds. Camri discovers that there are very few clues as to what happened to her brother. She works at a chocolate factory to support her brother’s household while questioning those who last saw her brother. She also meets the Irish man who was found innocent of murder. He also is searching for her brother as they both were trying to get proof of corrupt business practices, graft and other criminal activities of a wealthy and ruthless man. Then, just as they were getting close to bringing their proof to light, Caleb disappears.
Patrick Murdock used to work with his father in the family’s construction business. His father was approached by some shifty characters to accept some money in exchange for using inferior materials. His father refused and soon after was found dead. Patrick knows his father was killed and didn’t have an accident. He also knows who is responsible, but he must have proof. He agrees to work with his friend and lawyer, Caleb, to gather evidence. Then, Caleb vanishes without a trace. Patrick meets Caleb’s sister and agrees to help her try to discover what happened to her brother. As they keep digging for the truth, they become more of a target for danger.
The beginning was slow, but it got more interesting. I liked the setting as well as the three women agreeing to work together to help each other solve their problems. They pooled their resources to support one another. I also admired Camri’s ability to look at herself and see how pride and arrogance had been a part of her life without her realizing it. She was able to admit this and apologize to those she offended. She also had God as her center. Patrick had anger toward God due to his circumstances and all that he had lost. He had distanced himself from God. He got to a low point and realized he needed God to be back as the focus of his life and not his anger. Good life lessons for all!

I liked the history and mystery. Sometimes, I felt the conversation and thoughts of the characters went on too long. I also felt the ending was weak and much was left unanswered. So I felt the ending left the reader up in the air.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christian Historical Fiction at it's finest!
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018

I have enjoyed reading many of Tracie Peterson's books. This book did not disappoint.

This story takes place in 1905, in San Francisco. I could imagine the places described: sights, sounds, and spells were all described so well. There were even a couple of minor earthquakes to make the story authentic! Camri's dedication to her ideals, her family, and her faith were realistic as she struggled with her brother's disappearance. Camri had been around scholars all of her life, and valued education above almost everything else. She was passionate about the role of education in the betterment of living conditions and opportunities for all. Encountering different viewpoints was difficult for her. As the search for Caleb intensifies, Camri learns about the unspeakable practice of human trafficking and poverty.

Tracie Peterson has written a wonderful story of faith, perseverance, and love. I can't wait for the rest of this series!!
