Description

Police Lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara found her calling at an early age when an unstable man broke into her family's home, trapping and terrorising them for hours. Now she's Savannah's top hostage negotiator; she defuses powder-keg situations and has a talent for knowing when to give in - and when to take action. It's satisfying work - and smetimes those skills come in handy at home dealing with her precocious seven-year-old, Carly, and her agrophobic mother, still traumatised by the break-in after all these years. --Cover.
