THE PROGRAM
When New Orleans District Attorney Kirsten Lord and her nine-year-old
daughter are imperiled by a chillingly believable death threat, Lord has
no other choice but to accept the Witness Protection Program's offer to
hide them in Boulder, Colorado. There, they meet program veteran Carl
Luppo, a solitary mob hit man who is tormented by his former life and
has nothing but time for regret. Sensing that Lord and her daughter's
safety has been compromised, Luppo takes on the role of sentinel, fully
realizing this might be his last shot at redemption. While Lord suspects
that Luppo's warnings about the program's dark side are for her own
protection and that she should believe the former assassin's instincts,
the only person she can really trust is nine-years-old.
WARNING SIGNS
The brutal slaying of Boulder's controversial DA strikes deep in the
heart of everything clinical psychologist Alan Gregory holds dear: after
all, Gregory's wife, Lauren, worked for the dead man. But the bloodied
body is just the first in a series of high-voltage incidents in a
gripping story of crime and punishment, tragedy and retribution - and of
human beings caught in the shattering cross fire of forces beyond their
control...forces sometimes within themselves.
