What happened to Ariel Roberts and her boyfriend Gavin when they left the mission in Miami where they were volunteering for the summer to pick up a pizza and never came back? Were they abducted? Murdered? That’s what Dr. Rob, Ariel’s father and Matthew Paine’s colleague, desperately wants to know.

Matthew Paine, the youngest physician in his family practice on the outskirts of Raleigh, North Carolina, is always ready to help his family and friends. He gets more than he bargained for, though, when Dr. Rob asks him and Homicide Detective Warren Danbury to help find Ariel. Matthew and Danbury drop everything and hop the next flight to Miami with Dr. Rob to search for her.

Initially, the staff at the Miami mission weren’t worried because bars in Miami are open all night. But when a day turned into two, everyone became concerned. The makeshift search team traverses the roadways and waterways around Miami to track the last known whereabouts of the young couple.

Join Matthew, Danbury, and Dr. Rob in MIA, the third in the Matthew Paine Mystery series, as they race against an unseen clock in the heat of Miami trying to find Ariel.
