The first person to disappear was an older woman. Then it was a child...then a teenage boy. When Kathryn Reynolds's tenant and friend goes missing, she has no idea that her vanishing could be part of a larger, sinister pattern. But the moment she meets Detective Jack Thornton, time seems to stop--literally. The attraction between them is so strong and undeniable, there's almost something dangerous about it... Jack Thornton had assumed that this was just a routine missing persons report, but there was nothing routine about his response to Kathryn. He's never reacted so quickly or so strongly to any woman before, and the erotic dreams they share threaten to overwhelm his
control. But the more he investigates her friend's disappearance, the more uneasy he feels. For he's starting to sense that he and Kathryn are being manipulated by someone...or something. They seem to be playing cat-and-mouse with an unseen enemy--but what Jack doesn't realize is that a killer is on the hunt, and he will stop at nothing to attain his goal. And that the killer is convinced that Kathryn is the key to his dreams of unholy power...

The Central Park Jogger case clearly inspired this 17th installment in the Butch Karp/Marlene Ciampi legal thriller series. Twelve years ago, Liz Tyler, a young white woman out jogging in Coney Island, was savagely raped and beaten; unfortunately, her head injuries made her a poor witness. The police fingered five African-American men, four of whom spent 10 years in jail before someone else confessed to the crime. Now, the
Coney Island Four,
represented by lawyer and corrupt publicity hound Hugh Louis. plan to sue the city $250 million. Liz Tyler`s imperfect memory, however, contains scattered images of rape and assault by the Coney Island Four as well as by the other man. Butch Karp, New York`s Acting District Attorney, and his wife, Marlene Ciampi, go after the truth, and must also defend the city and their family against other dangers, including a terrorist plot.
