"Spanish Bay police detective Aria Quynn is a savvy investigator, the product of tough streets and harsh life-experiences -- loyal to her friends, scarred by self-inflicted emotional wounds. Quynn -- injured only slightly in the clinic bombing that killed her partner -- is officially on the sidelines of a case that quickly is claimed by the FBI. But almost immediately, she finds herself unofficially tasked to determine whether the alleged "visions" of 13-year-old Maddie Shepard are connected to this latest domestic-terrorist attack. Evidence points to the bombing as the work of the Centurions of the Lord -- specifically, to Bobby Teasdale, the object of a nationwide manhunt since the sniper killing of another family-planning staffer more than a year earlier. As Quynn plunges ever deeper into the case, she finds herself enmeshed in a malevolent web of lies and betrayals that point to a conspiracy far more evil." Book jacket.
