Nykanen is a four-time Emmy and Edgar-winning journalist, and acclaimed author of extraordinarily tense literary thrillers that feature protagonists who find themselves pushed to the absolute extremes of behavior and imagination.
Environmental extremists want to use her, corporations want her dead, the government wants her gone, and her daughter just wants to save her life. A "neo-primitive" cult with a doomsday secret kidnaps a fashion model and holds her hostage, forcing her to act as their spokesperson.
As time runs out and the world watches, her adult, estranged daughter allies with the activist underground in a desperate attempt to rescue her, while battling dark agendas from the government and energy corporations.
