Jenny McPherson is elated when she gives birth to a set of beautiful twin girls. Early on, they show an unusual ability for music. On their twelfth birthday, their parents enroll the twins in a world-famous music school. Sam McPherson, their father, decides to pick them up for the weekend. When he was ready to get them, he opens their dorm room. It was empty; purses spread over the unmade beds. He does not know what happens to the girls. The school officials do not know and the police were not very helpful. Finally, in desperation, Sam hires Stan Mallory, PI, to look for the twins. He strongly suspects that the twins are a subject of human trafficking. Stan searches the neighborhood and all across the Americas to find them. Is he successful?

Stan put a robe on, and he joined her.
