During a dark, rainy winter on Northern California's rural redwood coast, a judge's visiting 20-year-old granddaughter vanishes. Inspector Kevin Valken and his Native American partner, Detective Naomi Marren, work the case and must cross paths with several scoundrels, a violent felon, and a mysterious villain who takes one shoe from each victim. Valken's a troubled soul, grappling with bad dreams and unresolved grief since a drunk driver killed his wife and daughter. Marren's sensible, balanced, and a sharpshooter, but she's disturbed by a sleazy rogue sergeant and her sadness about missing and murdered indigenous people.
