When Private Investigator Jackson Douglas is approached by "history hunter" Joel Robinson with a legend about Crusader treasure, he is more than a little wary. But Joel seems legitimate and believes in Jackson's investigative skills. And he's paying very well. So Jackson joins Joel and his team in their pursuit to decipher the riddle of "The Holy Trinity," believed to be the key to locating the treasure. Questions loom over the expedition from the beginning. What exactly is the treasure? What power did the Crusaders believe it possessed? Why did they go to such great lengths to conceal it? Who else is after the treasure, and what danger do they pose to the team? And which of his teammates can Jackson trust . . . and which can't he? The quest will take Jackson from a prestigious art gallery in New York City to a secret vault high in the Alps to the very land the Crusaders and Muslims fought over centuries ago, testing his deductive abilities-and his faith-at every turn.

Private Investigator Jackson Douglas has always turned to his friends for help. Now, each of them needs to turn to him. Only none of them know where he is. Fighting against their own fears, Maggie, Sam, Mouse, Reggie, and Leroy band together to figure out what happened to Jackson. Working with old friends and new ones, they uncover several possible explanations for his disappearance, each with its own grim ramifications. None of them, however, are nearly as shocking as the truth. Nor as potentially catastrophic.

P.I. Jackson Douglas is inundated with women. While pondering the murder of a man named Douglas Jackson, he encounters Ryan, Stephanie, and Marissa-along with all their troubles. First Ryan finds Jackson by mistake, thinking he's Douglas Jackson, unware of the murder, and unable-or unwilling-to provide any answers about her past. The next day, Jackson rescues Stephanie from her abusive husband and brings her home with him. That night, Marissa seeks out Jackson, afraid that her boyfriend (who just hired Jackson to find her) is trying to kill her. While providing the trio a safe place to stay, Jackson works to solve each of their problems. But with three women relying on his investigative skills and clinging to his assurances, he fears he may be in over his head. Discovering more secrets and deception at every turn, Jackson is forced to put aside conflicting emotions and make difficult choices. When he uncovers the whole truth, even his best efforts can't produce three happy endings.

Jackson Douglas is only an associate at MTR Investigative Services, and that for all of three weeks. But when a potential client shows up late one Friday, he offers to help. Reggie Cameron is about to open a new restaurant, and his ex-wife's sister, Leila, wants in on the action. Unless Reggie makes her a partner, she plans to tell the world that he stole $25,000 from her stepfather-Reggie's former employer. Reggie insists he didn't do it, but fears Leila will use his past to stereotype him, adding credence to accusations that could ruin him before his new career gets started. Since none of the pros at MTR are available to take the case, Jackson is left to work alone. Hoping to prove Leila is actually the thief, he spends his Saturday tailing her and observes unusual behavior that appears to tie her to a local crime family. Despite the danger, Jackson pushes on, determined to help Reggie for reasons he can't explain. Will he incriminate Leila in time, or will he end up pushing too far?

A weekend ski trip with a trio of beautiful women could be a lot of fun. If they didn't have it in for Jackson. And if one of them wasn't being hunted by killers. Jackson's brother's fiancee, Hillary, has been receiving death threats, likely tied to her career as a defense attorney. Getting away for a relaxing weekend seems prudent until they find evidence that someone is following their group. Hillary refuses to turn back, which puts Jackson on edge, seeing snipers behind ski lifts and questioning the loyalty of his traveling companions. And when a heavy snowstorm strands them all in their palatial cabin with a mysterious stranger, his paranoia seems perfectly apropos. As the night wears on, fears become reality. Killers breach the cabin, forcing the group to use whatever means necessary to fight for their survival. As dawn nears, they hatch a plan to save themselves. But will they escape from danger, or place themselves in its very midst?
