Lost Innocents

When a fifteen-year-old baby-sitter vanishes with her towheaded charge, Maddy Blake, like the rest of her sleepy, suburban town, is shaken. When the teenager's naked body is recoverd and a manhunt for the missing toddler turns up nothing, Maddy, like the entire community of Taylorsville, is horrified. Even though she has a three-year-old daughter of her own, she assumes the grisly murder can have no connection to her increasingly troubled life. Preoccupied by financial difficulties and a faltering marriage, she follows the case with some detachment--until the police arrive at her her door.
