Margaret McFarland

Margaret, you need a man in your life they said. You have to get out more they said. You've got to add some excitement to your life they said. So she added Clarke Ingram to her life -- her very own superman they called him, sight unseen. Then she abruptly disappeared.

So what should her friends do now? After all it was on their advice she sought changes to her simple, uncluttered life. Is Clarke Ingram really a dream catch as Margaret had described him or is he a controller preying on unsuspecting older women?

When they finally hear from her, it's only to learn of her involvement in one catastrophe after another. A near death in a swimming pool accident. A suspicious bus accident in South America. The disappearance of several more people. The forced care of two innocent children. Murder. Drugs. Ransom. Events none of them had ever thought would be a part of their lives.

Margaret is caught in a labyrinth that only draws her deeper and deeper into a complicated chaos. All her friends can do is to jump in and help her find a way to come home -- no matter what.
