Three-year-old twins Kelly and Kathy Frawley are kidnapped from their suburban Connecticut home following their parents' anniversary dinner. The abductors demand an eight-million-dollar ransom, but the exchange goes wrong when only Kelly is recovered from a vehicle alongside a suicide note claiming Kathy is dead. While the police and grieving parents Margaret and Steve Frawley accept this tragedy, Kelly begins communicating through a shared psychic connection, insisting her sister is still alive and being held by a captor known as the Pied Piper.
This thriller serves readers who enjoy procedural mysteries centered on family crises and the supernatural link between siblings.
