Caleb Maddox is a toxicologist who just wants to drown his sorrows after an ugly breakup with his girlfriend
At a bar he meets the beautiful and bewitching Emmeline who has a taste for absinthe but then vanishes into the night.
He must find her.
As his search begins, Caleb becomes entangled in a serial-murder investigation. The police have been fishing men from the bay, and the post-mortems are inconclusive. One of the victims vanished from the bar the night Caleb met Emmeline. When questioned, Caleb can’t offer any information, nor does he tell them he’s been secretly helping the city’s medical examiner, an old friend, study the chemical evidence on the victims’ remains.
The search for the killer soon entwines with Caleb’s hunt for Emmeline, and the closer he gets to each, the more dangerous his world becomes...
