A killer aims to paint Kate Sullivan out of the picture

Retired police chief Katherine Sullivan moved away from Edina, MN, to feed her artistic soul in New Mexico. But when she receives an urgent call-Nathan Walker, her best friend from her days on the police force, is missing, and his crew of security experts hasn't seen him in days-Katherine flies home to track him down.

Meanwhile, Edina is reeling from the murder of a local woman, which may have a connection to Nathan's disappearance. As Katherine locates Nathan's abandoned car and compiles a list of potential kidnappers, another body is found-and Katherine fears time is running out.

Reluctantly pulled into a new case, Katherine must set aside her art and tear herself away from her darling grandchildren to save her best friend.
