Missing in Oakland

In the affluent Oakland Hills, where secrets lurk beneath a veneer of respectability, the murder of a young co-ed sends shockwaves through the community. Hillary Chatham Dillard, an interracial student at the prestigious Crestview College, is found dead after an annual alumni affair, her body adorned with duck feathers and a mallard duck head protruding from her mouth.

Detective Bill Lincoln, a seasoned investigator known for his tenacity and unconventional methods, is called in to unravel the mystery. As he delves into the investigation, Lincoln uncovers a web of racial tensions, hidden relationships, and financial improprieties that intertwine with the murder.

The case becomes increasingly complex, with false leads and red herrings at every turn. Lincoln’s pursuit of justice leads him to question the very foundations of the Oakland Hills community. He confronts the wealthy elite, the corrupt politicians, and the unscrupulous individuals who lurk in the shadows.

As Lincoln digs deeper, he discovers that Hillary’s murder is not just a random act of violence, but a symptom of a deeper malaise that plagues the community. The investigation becomes a battle of wills, as Lincoln fights to expose the truth and bring the killer to justice.

Despite the obstacles and dangers he faces, Lincoln remains steadfast in his determination. He knows that Hillary’s murder is a cry for justice, a demand for accountability in a world where the powerful often escape consequences.

Missing in Oakland is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of race, class, and the dark underbelly of a seemingly idyllic community. It is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
