There is just one print job to put to bed in time for a lavish launch party at Ornum House. All goes according to plan until one of Mike's employees is found dead . And he wasn't the only casualty. DI Sloan and DC Crosby have

a tangled set of motives and some devious chicanery to unpick to discover a killer.

    When eight immigrants arrived at the Baltimore Federal Courthouse to be sworn in as new citizens they didn’t give a thought to the trial next door of five terrorists charged with blowing up a federal building. Baltimore Sun Reporter Mark Shrader did care about that trial. His wife and unborn child had been killed in that explosion, but in spite of his pleas to cover the case he was instead ordered to write a Sunday-Supplement article on the new citizens. Then the terrorists escaped their guards, invaded the immigrants' courtroom, and took them all hostage. Mark Shrader had prayed that someday he would have the chance for vengeance on his wife’s killers. Now it appeared that his chance might have come. Mark Shrader asked the immigrants to help him fight back against their captors and several of them agreed. As they organized their attack on the killers, hostage Le Thai Mai’s grown son, a rookie Baltimore police officer, embarked on a desperate and unauthorized plan to save his mother’s life. But would he be able to reach her in time?
