Guilty as Sin

Rochelle Kaplan

The unthinkable has happened. A child is snatched out of her bed while in the care of her free-spirited grandparents, Pamela and Steve North, who are occupied downstairs hosting a swingers' party in their garage. Although a neighbor-Tom Nealy, who is middle-aged, divorced, reclusive and has thousands of images of child pornography on his computer- turns out to be the prime suspect, new information eventually surfaces indicating that another person, driven by a different kind of lust, may have also had a hand in the kidnapping.

Even without a body but with other, hard evidence against Nealy, the police arrest him and believe they have an open and shut case. But another, seemingly unrelated event-the disappearance of a multimillionaire financier whose dead son had ties to the missing girl's mother-ultimately forces the police to look for a connection between the two cases.

While the grandparents vehemently downplay their lifestyle as a contributing factor in their grandchild's abduction, massive searches and a substantial monetary reward produce nothing. Then, a jogger discovers the decomposing body of a little girl in a nearby suburban canyon. Is it the North girl or is it another unfortunate child who met with foul play?
