It is one thing to have skeletons tucked safely away in the closet, but to be forced to expose them is another story. Is Ella Masters’ life worth digging up skeletons that reveal a lifetime of games, lies, and family secrets? Davis Masters has shady business deals and even darker personal affairs, but his wife’s disappearance isn’t part of his overall plan. In fact, it couldn’t be a worse time. Now he needs to find out who has her before authorities do. Ella’s identical twin sister, Emilie Randolph, shows up at the police station, after a two-year estranged relationship. Davis tries to convince authorities she is behind his wife’s disappearance, but the high-society Chicago beauty clouds their judgment with her big blue eyes, flashy smile, and charismatic personality. William and Willow Masters are doing their best to take care of each other in their mommy’s absence, but they are young, innocent, and vulnerable. And sometimes children get lost in the midst of adult games. Agents Drew Scott and Brad Gibbons know they have less than a month to sift through a pile of evidence that is handed to them like Thanksgiving dinner. It is enough to keep them questioning Ella’s loved ones, but not enough to lead them to the missing wife and mother. Evidence points to foul play, but they can’t rule out that Ella’s own secrets may have led to her disappearance. Did she leave willingly, or is she quietly pleading, “Riddle Me Home?”
