A UFO conference. A cold case. A missing man. Rosie Ryan faces her toughest challenge ever when she's asked to investigate the death of Hailey Lawrence. The writer was on the verge of international fame with her first novel. Did her death really an accident? Or was she murdered by a jealous rival? At the same time, Rosie has to deal with the annual Australian Flying Saucer Association conference. It's being held in Cape Carson for the first time, and she's been asked to assist. She wouldn't have said yes, but there's been a terrible misunderstanding, and now she has to chair the panels. It can't be too difficult. Can it? She's sure there's intelligent life somewhere out there, but she's not so sure about down here... Our intrepid reporter is back again with her best friend, Kim Chen, her feisty grandmother, Nan, and Todd Parker, the local cop. Good thing Trixie's there to keep everything under control!
