Money, sex, power. Jonathon Lindemann offers it all-just don't mind the missing girls.
Jake Longly, ex-pro baseball player turned restauranteur, is back where he belongs: relaxing on the beach in front of his restaurant in Gulf Shores, Alabama. His peace is interrupted, however, when he receives a call from his private investigator father-April Wilkerson has gone missing from Lindemann Farms, the rustic, yet posh, resort built by self-help and financial guru Jonathon Lindemann.
Lindemann, founder of The Lindemann Method (TLM), recruits wealthy people to join his program, charging a hefty entry fee but in return promising huge financial gains and self-enlightenment. Jake's celebrity status makes him the best person for the case.
When Jake and his girlfriend, Nicole, go on an undercover visit to Lindemann Farms, some suspicious activity makes them wonder about the legitimacy of TLM. Soon, a private conversation with one of the girls hired to work at the resort reveals their unorthodox, and immoral, recruitment methods.
As the layers peel away, darker edges appear. Does Jonathon truly make money for his investors, or is he a scam artist Is April merely the latest in a series of missing young women Jake and Nicole need to find her, and soon, before TLM catches wind of their true reasons for visiting the farm.
Perfect for fans of Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich
