On the way home from an interview that ties into
her current investigation, Beth is almost run off the road. Then,
she comes home to discover that a young boy is hiding there. Jimmy
had been sent to steal files off her computer, files that could
destroy the modern day OLIVER TWIST like scam the director of St.
Claire's Children's Home is running. However, Beth came home too
soon, and he was trapped there. Beth takes him in, and tells his
story to the social worker who is helping her, Nick. Both
are working to shut down the criminal operation, but Beth has a
personal stake in this that she is keeping secret.
As they come closer to being able to end this
reign of terror, the attacks against Beth become more lethal, and
the levels of corruption they discover run deeper. They also
have to worry about Jimmy's sister who is still in the home and
could be used as a hostage against Jimmy. The danger climbs
with every page, until there is a final, dramatic conclusion in
which lives are on the line.
Fast
paced, intense, and dramatic are just a few of the words that come
to mind to describe this book. One man's twisting of the
Bible, in addition to his other sick plots, may have the
potential to ruin young lives far beyond the criminal actions he
forces them to participate in, but they are given the hope of
recovery as the truth is made known. It is a shame that this
is the final book in an outstanding series.
