Private L.a.

In Los Angeles, where glamour and fame are everything, Thom and Jennifer Harlow are the biggest mega-celebrities ever. When they suddenly disappear, Private investigators Jack Morgan and Justine Smith secretly begin the search. Private is the country's top investigative firm, and Jack, its founder and director, will do whatever it takes to get the job done. Shelving their on-again, off-again romance so they can work together, they must breach the Harlows' high wall of security and image control-until shocking truths are revealed. Was the Harlows' disappearance their greatest-and most dangerous-performance ever?
