Long before he opened the front door, Adrian Saville knew someone was in his house, for he had a special alarm system that trapped an intruder inside instead of keeping him out. But when Adrian saw who his visitor was, he couldn't believe his eyes. Sara. He had dreamed about her, had fantasized about their inevitable meeting - a meeting that was inevitable because only Adrian knew what clues Sara was looking for!
