C. J. Emerson Knihy

Jess is meant to protect children but she has a dark secret, and someone knows what it is. Someone who kills. Almost everyone around her is suspect, even the girl who claims to be her abandoned daughter. As her professional life becomes harder to control, Jess is forced to come to terms with her own past when someone unexpectedly reappears, someone she thought was lost forever. She finds herself crossing the line from investigator to victim, forced to question the very basis of her identity, and she can only wonder: who's there to protect the protector? When two more children disappear, Jess finds herself in a losing race to find the culprit before she too becomes a victim. Only one person is on her side, the mysterious female detective, Pav McNeil, whose interest in her seems to be more than professional.

A failing lawyer loses his unacknowledged lover, his home, his hidden daughter and his successful wife, and ends up hiding from a mysterious stalker with an elderly Woodstock refugee and her parrot.
