- Summary:
- After years of rescuing children and on the brink of retirement, Alan Carmichael decides to rescue one last teenager from an abusive parent. But, once the boy is safely hidden, Carmichael begins to doubt his decision to intervene: Has he turned a killer free to kill again? Has his intervention set in motion a tide of violence that began years ago and now threatens to claim Alan among its innocent victims? The answers are found in an emotionally intricate and unexpected tale filled with the rich prose, resonant characters and knife-edge suspense from the pen of a sublimely gifted author who spins extraordinary suspense fiction from ordinary life.
