Children in Harrisburg, Virginia are being targeted…
Only Lieutenant Mike Kaleta can stop him striking again!
It was Kaleta’s wife who wanted them to move from New York to Harrisburg, a medium-sized city in Virginia.
Now she’s his ex-wife.
Her loathing of him is only equalled by that of her father – who just happens to be the mayor.
The chief of police, who hates college boys on principle, is not his biggest fan, either - all of which makes it harder for him to track down the monster who has so far attacked five little children.
The attacks are sparking outrage and fear among the city’s parents and politicians alike.
And worse is yet to come, because the deeper Kaleta and his partner, Sergeant Carrie Williams, get into the investigation, the more it seems to him that there are people – powerful people – who will do all they can to make sure he does not succeed…
Can the determined pair really discover the truth?
Violation has twists and turns that take the reader in chilling and surprising directions.
