Bookroo's summary

In River Heights, a mayoral candidate's daughter vanishes, but no one acknowledges the disappearance. With silence surrounding the case, a determined sleuth and her friends must unravel the truth. Can they solve the mystery when no one else will even admit it exists?

From the publisher

I’m always up for a good mystery, but when the big question is what I should get Dad for his birthday, I don’t have a clue! And then another mystery comes my way – one that involves Heather Simmons, a leading candidate in the upcoming election for mayor of River Heights. My friends and I are pretty sure that her daughter Leslie, musician extraordinaire, has been kidnapped. But the thing is, nobody is saying a word about it! It’s hard to crack a case like this when no one will even admit that one exists. But I won’t let a little thing like that stop me when I smell trouble….
