Veronica Mars is back in action, and with the help of old friends she's ready to take on Neptune's darkest cases with her trademark sass and smarts. But she's struggling to keep Mars Investigations afloat on the scant cash earned by catching cheating spouses until she can score her first big case. When a girl disappears from a spring break party, it's no simple missing person's case; the house the girl vanished from belongs to a man with serious criminal ties. Soon Veronica is plunged into a dangerous underworld of drugs and organized crime-- and a shocking connection to her own past.
