The Pied Piper
In Seattle, they're calling him The Pied Piper--someone who comes in the
night and takes children away. To newly promoted police lieutenant Lou
Boldt and police psychologist Daphne Matthews, it's clear this isn't
about a single lunatic or random kidnappings: these crimes are well
orchestrated, well executed, and, most chilling of all, occurring in
cities across the country.
The First Victim
A shipping container washed ashore leads Seattle television news anchor
Stevie McNeal and reporter friend Melissa on the trail of a scam
involving the importation of illegal aliens. A career stepping-stone for
McNeal, the investigation puts her at cross-purposes with the Seattle
Police Department's Lou Boldt and Sergeant John LaMoia. When Melissa
disappears, perhaps at the hands of the Chinese Triad, McNeal turns from
foe to ally and teams up with the detectives on an investigation that
takes them from Seattle's docklands to the offices of the INS.
Parallel Lies
A grieving man is on a mission to bring down the railroad company he
blames for his wife and children's deaths--no matter who else dies in
the process. Tyler, the ex-cop who is looking to redeem himself after
being suspended from the force, will stop at nothing to catch the
perpetrator.
