Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

The cheerful chaos of a California schoolyard is shattered one autumn day by a sniper's gunfire. No children are hurt, but the sniper is gunned down by the bodyguard of a politician visiting the school- and LAPD Detective Milo Sturgis calls in his friend, child psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware, to help the children deal with the trauma that's invaded their lives. The shock of the incident is quickly followed by another stunning surprise: the identity of the sniper. As the media feed the publics curiosity with a profile of the stereotypical lone assassin, Alex receives a second plea for help- this time from the snipers' father, Mahlon Burden.

And Alex's role in the shooting's aftermath is already complicated by his strong attraction to Linda Overstreet, the Nathan Hale Elementary School's principal-a courageous, feisty, young woman with secrets of her own. Then there are the puzzling attempts made by a local politician to force Alex to step aside and let a slick psychotherapist with a canned feel-good message take over the children's therapy. Nathan Hale Elementary School has been the object of fierce hostilities ever since the busing of inner-city children to its suburban setting began, but as Alex becomes ever more deeply involved, he discovers that a wider net of malice has been cast-one that may already have claimed innocent lives. Before long, his relentless probing will make Alex himself the target of an obsessive and consuming hatred-and the catalyst for its eruption into violence.…
