On September eleven, 2001, Jennifer Sinclair, a young
Texan dwelling in London, observed her place of origin attacked: the realm Trade
centers, the Pentagon, and a airplane which crashed in a box in
Pennsylvania. It used to be tough to be an American in a international country,
even an best friend of America's, following the occasions of September eleven. Now
married to a brand new Scotland backyard senior detective, Jenny by no means expected
the weather of terrorism from the USA to comb throughout the
Atlantic and produce an undercurrent of worry to the United Kingdom.

Jenny now lives within the idyllic northwest London suburb of Hampstead,
but she feels the uneasiness that every one americans out of the country do. while it takes
just one crazed person to dedicate unreasoning violence, nobody can
consider himself or herself thoroughly secure. The Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police assigns additional officials to patrol attainable target
areas in what he calls, Operation Calm, yet Jenny isn't really reassured. Then
a shipment send within the English Channel, suggested to be sporting terrorist
material, is boarded by way of anti-terror police. even though the hot Scotland
Yard spokesman insists that there's no risk to the general public, she isn't
relieved. no longer lengthy in a while, Richard Reid, who used to be born and raised in
Britain, attempts to smash an American airways airplane in flight with a
bomb in his shoe. every one incident seems taking place nearer and closer
to home.

Her husband, Detective leader Inspector Colin Sinclair, recollects the
days of IRA terrorism and assures her that law enforcement officials within the UK
have a great deal of event scuffling with terrorists. IRA terrorists,
however, in most cases didn't decide to die with their ambitions, and this
new breed of evildoers appears keen to prevent at nothing.

Still, Jenny by no means anticipated the clouds of violence to strike shut to
domestic and threaten her family. Then early in 2002, a terrorist
attack happens in London and devastates her. Reeling from the trauma of
sudden grief, Jenny's international is became the wrong way up, and she or he needs to locate the
power to regulate to a existence she shouldn't have selected, separated from
family and in a rustic no longer her own.

Supported via an ex-Royal military chaplain, suggested by means of a psychiatrist,
and guided via Metropolitan law enforcement officials who've develop into friends,
Jenny struggles to make a brand new lifestyles for herself. Then a brand new danger
appears, at the old fashioned streets of her Hampstead domestic, a risk she will
have to stand alone.

Thus The project continues the tale of Houston-born Jenny - who traveled to London within the earlier novel, The Witness -
and the Metropolitan Police provider detectives and witness protection
officers who saved her secure following her brutal assault via a serial
killer. She confronted an extended restoration from her actual accidents and an even
longer one from the trauma of violence. attesting opposed to her attacker
despite her worry bolstered her, and progressively she moved from
being a sufferer to being a survivor. the ultimate step, notwithstanding, involved
leaving her trauma in the back of to turn into a victor, anyone loose to embrace
hope and love.
