A seventeen-year-old Senate page steps outside with her dog during a break from work and disappears without a trace. The case explodes across news networks, pulling three longtime friends into the investigation from their positions of power. Television reporter Cassidy Shaw chases the story while Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce works the legal angles and FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges leads the federal response. The trio calls themselves The Triple Threat, a bond forged in childhood over shared desserts and strengthened by their ability to solve cases together. As they dig deeper, suspects multiply around them, including a sitting US Senator whose connection to the missing girl raises dangerous questions. The three women must identify the betrayer among the growing list of possibilities before they become targets themselves. Their investigation threatens powerful people who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.
