While Lightman and Foster probe the disappearance of an 11-year-old adopted girl, Loker and Torres must determine whether a Ugandan peace activist is who she claims to be. One problem: Loker is a fan of the woman, and they become attracted to each other when they meet.

Cal becomes obsessed with the suicides of three young Indian-immigrant women, and Loker takes an unusual interest in the Ponzi scheme he and Foster are investigating. The scheme's operator, who's dying of cancer, insists that he is solely responsible for it, and that all the money is gone. But Foster---and especially Loker---aren't buying either assertion.
