A peaceful summer night is shattered by gunfire as an unseen assailant
tries to murder police officer John Busby. Though horribly wounded,
Busby survives. But the perpetrator remains at learge, meaning Busby and
his family remain in danger.
In alternating chapters, John Busby and his daughter, Cylin, tell the
harrowing true story of the year that followed--John from his
perspective as parent, Cylin from the point of view of the nine-year-old
child that she was. Together father and daughter craft an unforgettable
picture of fear, of police corruption, and of a malignant thug who no
one dares to cross. Yet their story is also one of redemption and
recovery, and ultimately of hope and healing.
