"Lucy and Emlen Grazer can't believe their luck. They've found the perfect babysitters for their new baby, Nicholas. Molly Crater and Carlotta Sutten are caring for four babies in their own home, and the motherly women are willing to add one more child. And so Lucy and Em begin dropping Nicholas off every morning before going to work at the Daily Tribune and then picking him up in the evening. Until the day they arrive at the house to find it crawling with police and not a sign of the babysitters or the babies." "Soon after, three of the children are returned safely, one is found dead, and only Nicholas is still missing. The kidnapping provides FBI Special Agent Don Tafoya with the case of his career when it turns out that the children were sold for $100,000 each to couples unable to adopt through normal channels. Not satisfied with the progress of Tafoya's investigation, Nicholas's reporter parents turn to Phrank, Lucy's teenage contact in the subterranean world of computer hackers." "Working both ends against the middle, Lucy and Em watch as Tafoya's official connections and Phrank's hacking skills lead them closer to the elusive kidnappers. But as the investigation closes on the two women, the whereabouts of Nicholas remain unknown. And time is running out, for Lucy and Em have been notified that their son's days are numbered. Nicholas is to be killed on Mother's Day."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved… (more)
