About the Book:

Misery loves company.

In June, 2000, Setsuko Takahashi, a successful, attractive, single Japanese woman, planned a special dinner at a very exclusive restaurant to announce her pregnancy to the unsuspecting father of her baby. Not surprisingly, the meeting did not go well. Later that evening, Setsuko did the unthinkable and drowned herself in the ocean, taking her unborn child with her.

Seven years later, a captain with the Seattle fire department leaves his twenty year reunion early and is never seen again. The next night, a prominent, gay, black defense attorney mysteriously disappears after leaving a popular night-spot. They are certainly not the first to vanish without a trace, and they will hardly be the last.

In fact, these incidents have become quite commonplace along the Southern California coastline, and it's really got the police stymied, because no clues are ever left behind. Now, their only hope of solving these cases rests on questionable contributions from some very unlikely volunteers. They are about to find a whole new meaning to the saying, misery loves company.
