THE VANISHING AT TABLE NINE: The Kit Calder Files (KiT! Book 1) ^Featured

Claire Hartwell vanished from a Manhattan restaurant without her phone, purse, or coat—and no security camera caught her leaving.

Private investigator Kit Calder likes problems people insist are impossible. She also has strong opinions about coffee, clothes, beautiful men, and questions nobody else thought to ask. When Claire’s brother puts a photograph beside Kit’s coffee and asks her to find his sister, Kit starts with the one fact that refuses to make sense: there should have been no way for Claire to leave unseen.

The police are looking. The restaurant staff have answers that don’t quite add up. And the deeper Kit traces Claire’s final hours, the clearer it becomes that the disappearance may have been deliberate—because Claire believed someone was watching.

To find her, Kit will have to separate instinct from evidence, protect people who are afraid to talk, and follow a trail that reaches far beyond Table Nine.

Around her, One More Chair offers coffee, unsolicited advice, and a circle of people who have long since decided Kit’s business is their business.

THE VANISHING AT TABLE NINE delivers a complete mystery while opening the door to Kit Calder’s New York.
