That same day eight year old Emma Wells is abducted from his church. This minister's efforts to assist the FBI in finding Emma, counsel her parents, and identify the accuser challenges his faith and abilities. Is there a connection between the accusatory letter and the missing child? In this debut mystery novel the timeless problem of evil is explored anew. Past relationships determine the events of the present, and the disappearance of a young girl uncovers a long hidden secret.
