Más información sobre el libro

A wave of babynappings has gripped the West Coast, and when the Pied Piper, known for leaving a penny flute with his victims, strikes in Seattle, homicide detective Lou Boldt is drawn into the investigation. Temporarily assigned to Intelligence to spend time with his wife during her chemotherapy, Boldt's task is to keep the FBI from interfering with the Seattle Police Department's efforts. However, FBI agent Gary Flemming proves to be a formidable opponent, seemingly undermining the SPD's work. The situation escalates when the Pied Piper abducts Boldt's daughter, threatening her life unless he obstructs both the FBI and SPD. Torn between duty and desperation, Boldt teams up with John La Moia, his homicide replacement, and police psychologist Daphne Matthews. Together, they create a covert task force to track the abductor while evading federal oversight. As they uncover how the Pied Piper has evaded capture and targeted his victims, the pursuit intensifies, spanning from Seattle to Portland and New Orleans, culminating in a gripping climax in Washington's Skagit Valley. With strong character development and expert pacing, the narrative promises a thrilling experience.
