"There is missing, then there is being made to disappear."

Mick Hart Private Investigation Agency finds deadbeat parents whose child supports payments are in arrears. On occasion, P.I. Hart will take on a case to find a missing person. In The Shakers, Sapphire Jenkins (Mary's Little Lamb) asks Hart to find her younger brother Gerald who is away at college and has been missing for two weeks from his classes. Hart travels to Atlanta, Georgia, searching for her sibling.

With few leads to follow, Mick Hart stumbles around the international hub city of the south. Atlanta; the hotbed of movers and shakers, to rump and thug shakers.

With the help of his agency partner and two unsuspecting allies, Hart uncovers the difference between a person missing and one made to disappear. Two truthers and a liar are amongst the diverse connections to the missing teen, but few of their words are worth a grain of salt.

Lawrence Christopher is the author of a combined eight books and novellas, most notably his Mick Hart mysteries, the first of which, All About Mary was a best seller.
