From the Publisher:
The daughter of a diplomat disappears on a school field trip -- lured into the Santa Monica Mountains and killed in cold blood. Her father denies the possibility of a political motive. There are no signs of struggle and no evidence of sexual assault, leaving psychologist Alex Delaware and his friend LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to pose the essential question: Why?

Working with Daniel Sharavi, a brilliant Israeli police inspector, Delaware and Sturgis soon find themselves ensnared in one of the darkest, most menacing cases of their careers. And when death strikes again, it is Alex who must go undercover, alone, to expose an unthinkable conspiracy of self-righteous brutality and total contempt for human life.

A sick child is missing -- in an even sicker world.
Five-year old Woody Swope was desperately ill -- and his one hope for cure was a clinic. But someone had a different idea. Woody had been kidnapped, and with every passing day, his chances of survival plummeted hideously.

That was why child psychologist, Alex Delaware, and his ally, homicide detective Milo Sturgis, had no time to waste, and bent all the rules as they hunted through a human jungle in California health cults, sex-for-sale haunts, and dreams-turned-into-nightmares to find a child who was the only innocent in the world of guilt...
