Arabella’s perfect life, as an aeronautical accident investigator, is nothing more than a perfect lie. Except that lie is about to unravel, when she investigates a mysterious plane crash in the dense unforgiving forest just beyond the border of Paradise, Texas, with no pilot or passengers in sight.
As Arabella cunningly discovers a cryptic message etched into the cockpit gauges of the downed plane she is shocked to find that it was sent by her best friend; considering her best friend was supposedly killed six months ago – and Arabella's husband identified the body.
What Arabella doesn't realize is that the key to understanding the deciphered message lies with a Deputy U.S. Marshal’s amnesic wife, who was on the plane, yet can’t remember who she really is.
