Calamity (Callie) Barnstable and her team at Past & Present Investigations have been hired to find out what happened to Brandon and where he might be.

Freelance writer Emily Garland is cash-strapped, newly single, and tired of reporting on the same old condo stats. When she's offered a lucrative assignment in the village of Lount's Landing, she decides to take a chance. All she has to do is relocate and uncover the real story behind a proposed redevelopment plan. What could possibly go wrong?Plenty, as it turns out. Not everyone is happy with real estate mogul Garrett Stonehaven's plans to convert an old schoolhouse into a mega-box store. At the top of the list is Arabella Carpenter, the outspoken owner of The Glass Dolphin antiques shop, who will do just about anything to preserve the integrity of the town's historic Main Street. But Arabella is not alone in her opposition. Before long, a vocal dissenter dies. A few days later, another body is discovered. Though both deaths are ruled accidental, Emily's suspicions are aroused. Putting her interview skills to the ultimate test, Emily teams up with Arabella to discover the truth behind Stonehaven's latest scheme-before the murderer strikes again.
Sometimes the past reaches out to the present...It's been thirteen months since Calamity (Callie) Barnstable inherited a house in Marketville under the condition that she search for the person who murdered her mother thirty years earlier. She solves the mystery, but what next? Unemployment? Another nine-to-five job in Toronto? Callie decides to set down roots in Marketville, take the skills and knowledge she acquired over the past year, and start her own business, Past & Present Investigations.It's not long before Callie and her new business partner, best friend Chantelle Marchand, get their first client: a woman who wants to find out everything she can about her grandmother, Anneliese Prei, and how she came to a "bad end" in 1956. It sounds like a perfect first assignment. Except for one thing: Anneliese's past winds its way into Callie's present, and not in a manner anyone-least of all Callie-could have predicted.
