Synopsis:

Of the four people at the Newpointe post office when the bomb went off, three were killed instantly.  The fourth, a five year old boy, lies comatose in the hospital and might not survive.

Who would do such a thing?  The answer comes in the form of a gunman crashing through the door of the hotel room where Jill Clark is staying.  With a rifle barrel pointed at her temple, the young attorney suddenly finds herself the hostage of a desperate man whose actions hardly fit his claim that he’s innocent of the bombing.

Only later, when the suspect is behind bars, does Jill wonder whether he’s as guilty as he appears.  Prompted by a terrifying attempt on her life, Jill and old flame Dan Nichols dig deeper into the case.  But standing in the way lies an obstacle Jill hasn’t counted on:  the power of a covenant.  It could change her life.  Or, with the clock ticking, it could seal her death.
