In the previous book, gazillionaire Robert Magellan created a foundation to fund the search for mission persons, driven in part by the unsolved disappearance of his own wife and baby son. In this sequel, California cop Ann Nolan sees his press conference calling for both investigators and applicant cases. Coincidentally, she's also just learned that the drug lord father of her adopted daughter has tracked her down. So she changes her name and hightails it across country with her 4 year old to take a job with the Mercy Street Foundation.
Calling herself Emme Caldwell, she takes on the case of missing person Belinda Hudson, a college student who disappeared without a trace one Saturday. The girl's guardian is her hunky uncle Nick, who restores classic cars and provides the romantic interest.
This book gets points for an unusual twist to the plot. It centers around a group of Donor Siblings, children of the same sperm donor who connected over the Internet. Stewart touches briefly on a lot of the possible issues - the children's desire for family connections, mothers who don't want their kids to care about the donor father, men who are suddenly confronted with a dozen or more biological offspring.
The characterization's a little shallow (no one in law enforcement would ever say, "I thought I was the only one whose mother just walked away," that's way too naive) but since it's an ongoing series, maybe that will change over time. While the main case is closed, there are several ongoing plot threads that will continue through the next book, at least.
