No official file. No Marshals. No traceable protection plan. Just a quiet life in Key West, a new name, and a coded first-Sunday call each month to prove she was still safe. > > Then the call comes wrong. > > Vega knows the message is deliberate-and that someone may be listening. With no safe way to involve her department, she calls the one person she trusts outside the system: Orlando private investigator Charlie Pike. Charlie and his rescue dog, Cy, head south to Key West, where bright water, crowded bars, old marinas, and postcard-perfect streets conceal the kind of secrets people will kill to keep. > > Josie’s past points in too many directions. Her decorated ex, Sergeant Deke Brandt, has the motive and the reach to find her. A familiar face in the island’s close-knit community seems eager to help. And every person Charlie questions has a different version of what happened to a woman who was supposed to have disappeared for good. > > As Charlie follows a trail of erased details, coded messages, and frightened witnesses, he begins to see a pattern beneath Key West’s easygoing charm: people who vanish are not always lost. Sometimes they are hidden. Sometimes they are sold. And sometimes the people offering sanctuary are the ones who know exactly where to look. > > When Vega’s own career is put on the line, Charlie must uncover who is protecting Josie, who is hunting her, and whether the clue she left behind is a plea for help-or a trap designed to bring them all into the open. > > *Mile Zero* is a sun-soaked Florida mystery of loyalty, survival, and the danger waiting beneath paradise. At the southernmost point of the road, every escape route has an ending. Charlie Pike intends to find Josie before hers becomes permanent.
