It seemed that pretty young Ann Edwards was always being asked to help with other people's problems. But when she heard the frightened voice of a mother asking her to take care of a little girl, Ann knew this was no simple domestic dilemma, but a dangerous assignment. Suddenly she was in the middle of a sinister case of kidnapping, with the threat of violence hanging over her and with a man whom she did not know whether to love or fear. Ann was in a race against time to find the clue that would unlock the menacing doors of mystery while her own life and that of an innocent child hung in perilous balance.
