Plot Summary of The Plantation
"One by one, in cities across America, people are taken from their homes, their cars, their lives. But these aren't random kidnappings: they're crimes of passion, planned and researched several months in advance. The last of the victims is Ariane Walker; when she disappears from her apartment, her boyfriend, Jonathon Payne, vows to find her."
Keith Copper, Resident Scholar
