Why was the woman silenced? What did she know? If the mother doesn't regain consciousness, the answers will die with her.THE CHOICE: More than a horrifying crime, more than a classic puzzle begging to be solved, news of the double shooting spreads to neighboring states and confronts one young girl, an innocent bystander, with a dangerous choice that will rob her of that innocence forever.

But when a mysterious prowler begins stalking another child from the same day care center, Whit is convinced that the snatched toddler is facing a much uglier -- and possibly deadly -- fate.THE EXPLOSION: As the furor heats up -- in the town, in the press, and in Whit's persona life -- he and his lover, newspaper editor Anna Tyree, find themselves in the eye of the storm of controversy. With one child still missing and another in certain danger, Whit must double his efforts to unmask and capture a kidnapper who may be desperate enough to turn killer...

THE INCIDENT: An interrupted burglary on a peaceful Milbrook street ends in the stabbing of a citizen and the murder of a cop. And that's only the beginning of a criminal nightmare for special investigator Whit Pynchon.THE INVASION: Whit has good reason to believe that the bloody B & E is the latest in a rash of break-ins committed for the same reason: to steal firearms. Even worse, the culprits may be neo-Nazi terrorists, who rove through small towns like Milbrook, committing robberies as part of a larger, more treacherous plan.THE INVESTIGATION: Even with the help of his lover, newspaper editor Anna Tyree, Whit has his hands full -- with an obnoxious new police chief, a rabble-rousing minister, a pack of eager news hounds and the elusive killer thieves, whose vengeance is set to explode.
