A Wrongful Death
Kate Wilhelm
Who knew that being a Good Samaritan would lead
Barbara Holloway to face her biggest challenge ever: being named prime
suspect in a high-profile kidnapping?
The peace and quiet of
Barbara's retreat on the Oregon coast is shattered when a terrified
young boy calls to her as she walks along a deserted beach. Frantically
he leads her to a cabin deep in the woods where his mother lies
senseless and battered--clearly left for dead. Barbara runs for help,
but by the time she returns with the police and medics both mother and
son are gone.
The puzzle only deepens when, back in the city,
Barbara learns that the boy she met is the grandson of a wealthy and
prominent family-- and that they have accused her of aiding and abetting
his disappearance.
With the help of her father, Frank, Barbara
delves into the mystery of the missing child, only to realize that the
kidnapping is a ruse for a more sinister plan--a plan that pits the
meaning of family against cold hard cash.
But the more she
learns, the more questions she has, and troubling obstacles continue to
thwart her every move--from the justice system that employs her, to the
false identities of those around her. Yet none of these things compares
to the shocking murder scene that awaits her.
