husband and their four-year-old son in a boating accident. But when
she spots a familiar-looking child on an escalator in the mall, she
is convinced it is the son she thought was dead. With police
skeptical of her story, she turns to private investigator Connor
Sullivan. The former Secret Service agent is dubious but agrees to
investigate. Digging into the case he discovers that the incident
may have been no accident at all. But if Kate's son is alive,
someone is intent on keeping him hidden--and may be willing to go
to lethal lengths to protect a sinister secret.
As Irene Hannon's many fans have come to expect, Deceived is
filled with complex characters, unexpected twists, and a riveting
plot line that accelerates to an explosive finish.
