0821744259 From Publishers Weekly nIn Crutcher's harrowing, sensitively written story of child abuse, a therapist investigates the abduction and murder of the young daughter of one of his patients. nCopyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. n nFrom School Library Journal nYA-- Child therapist Wilson Corder is apprehensive that his theories may become chilling facts in Crutcher's outstanding, yet wrenching, look into child abuse. Corder's primary concern is the missing Sabrina Parker. After the girl is found dead, he receives letters warning him against treating her traumatized brother, Jerry, who might have been the only witness to his sister's kidnapping. Her supposed abductor attacks Corder and Jerry during a visit to the place where Sabrina was murdered, and a psychotic, dangerous newcomer enters the scene and terrorizes Corder's children. All of these elements crescendo to a gripping, bone-chilling climax. Alone, the realism of the child abuse is depressing and overwhelming, but Crutcher's superb, sensitive style coupled with the prudent use of his unique humor makes this a first-rate, ``can't-put-it-down'' novel. n- Mike Printz, Topeka West High School, KS nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
