A chilling, only-too-topical thriller from the award-winning author of THE RED SCREAM and ALL THE DEAD LIE DOWN. Eleven Texan schoolchildren and their bus driver are captured by a fundamentalist cult, taken to a fortified compound and buried underground, kept alive but only just. Negotiations lead nowhere. Enter Molly Cates, tenacious crime writer with the inside track on the cult leader. But time is running out... Claustrophobic terror alternates with frenzied investigations as the sect's deadline approaches. Post-Waco, post-Oklahoma, the nature of cults is explored to its grim, unrelenting limits in this terrifically paced novel of suspense.

When crime reporter Molly Cates's father died more than twenty-five years ago, the case was ruled a suicide, and Molly's efforts to prove otherwise led to nothing but anguish and the breakup of her family. But now new information has come her way and she reopens the investigation-and a rush of old wounds-with a vengeance. Soon the personal becomes dangerously political as Molly's search for the truth leads her from the stately halls of Texas government to the mean streets of Austin's down-and-out-and ultimately to a moral dilemma she never could have anticipated. "From the Paperback edition."
