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 possibillity of a political motive. There are no signs of struggle, no evidence of sexual assault, leaving psychologist Alex Delaware and his friend LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to pose the distrubing question; Why? Working together with Daniel Sharavi, the brilliant Israeli police inspector introduced in Kellerman's "The Butcher's Theater", 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 conspriacy of self-righteous brutality and total contempt for human life.
