WHAT'S BECOME OF KERRI VANDERMEER

Only three months remain of the five-year probation imposed on disgraced physician Dr. Eduardo Reyes by his medical board. Assured the restoration of his license is simply a formality, Reyes eagerly awaits the opportunity to rebuild his reputation and restore his good name. But this dream is destroyed by his last-minute reassignment to probation supervisor, Kerri Vandermeer, who informs him that she intends to seek the revocation of his license based upon past abuses she has uncovered since taking over his case.

A man already at the end of his rope, Reyes becomes unhinged and during the next several weeks threatens, stalks, and menaces Vandermeer. Then Vandermeer abruptly vanishes, and Reyes goes into hiding in Mexico, accused of Vandermeer's abduction and murder.

Unconvinced that Vandermeer is in fact dead and that her campaign to destroy Reyes' career was legitimate, his devoted niece, Anna Montoya, sets out to prove her uncle's innocence by searching Vandermeer's past for evidence of wrongdoing. Unbeknown to Anna, however, her months-long investigation into Vandermeer's background has been beating around the edges of a murderous conspiracy and is making certain people nervous--nervous enough to decide that Anna, like Vandermeer, must permanently disappear.
