By 1984, the positive vibrations of the late 1960's and 70's were fast fading and life wasn’t so peachy keen. Jersey was just another tough guy with a broken heart and a bad attitude. And then she walked into his office, the perfect femme fatale, with a lie resting on her full red lips, and the scent of gardenias fogging the air; Margaret Washington was all the trouble a man could ask for.
But it isn't the provocative Mrs. Washington pulling his strings, calling his shots, and making a mug of him. No, cool as he is, and determined as he might be to hide his heart from the world, Jersey is powerless to control his own story. He is at the mercy of a woman lost in the darkness of despair, a woman who hates her own romantic heart as much as she hates he who was her husband, he who had been her husband for nine years, and now is not. Night after night, Persephone puts her young daughters to bed, sits down at her desk, and quietly opens up Jersey's world, finding solace in murder and disharmony. But as she writes her way deeper into Jersey's life, the line between their realities dissolves, and Persephone slips ever closer towards a fictional world where anything is possible.
In “The case of the Vanishing heart,” an old fashioned who-done-it becomes the makings of a modern romantic tragedy. As Persephone struggles to face a life she never dreamed of, Jersey is left to solve the mystery that threatens both their destinies.
