eBook Description: A serial killer striking every twelve hours. A Kite monster murdering at random. Though neither event seems related, Agents Sam Ryan and Gabriel Stern quickly discover a link between the two--the military base known as Hopeworth. But are the serial killings a military cover-up that has gone dangerously wrong, or is there a deeper, more personal reason behind the murders of the red-headed adoptees? And are the so-called random attacks of the Kites nothing more than a methodical clean-up of a past mistake? As the investigation continues, Sam discovers a connection between herself and the murder victims, a connection that implies a link to Hopeworth itself. But if she is a product of the military, why does Hopeworth appear to know nothing about her? With the killings escalating and the danger drawing closer to home, Sam not only has to battle to bring a killer to justice, but to save Gabriel's life. And the one person who seems to hold the key to what is going on, as well as what has happened in Sam's past, is the mysterious man who saved her life. But does she dare believe his words or the dreams she seems to share with him? Because this mystery man may not be just her enemy, but the enemy of humankind itself.

He started the car and headed back to Kensington. A third gray ford sat outside Roy Benson's retirement home--obviously, Gabriel had called in a cleanup team to tend to the second kite attack. She wondered why. Surely it was a task he would normally have forced her to handle, especially given it might be connected to Lyle's murder.

He drove on. Mark Allars lived a block away from the retirement home in a single fronted Victorian-style house that was probably worth a fortune, despite its rundown appearance. She studied the building as she climbed out of the car. The small front yard was filled with gate high weeds, and the window to the right of the door was boarded up with wood. It looked abandoned--until you looked up and saw the state-of-the-art satellite dishes sitting on the roof.

The gate creaked when Gabriel opened it. She limped through and knocked on the door.

"Who the hell is it?" a rough voice demanded.

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Gabriel.

"He's your average, cranky old recluse," he said, then raised his voice slightly. "It's Gabriel Stern. Charles's son."

Footsteps shuffled towards the door. Seconds later it was flung open. An old man stood before them, wearing blue pajama bottoms and a battered, smoke-stained sweatshirt. His feet were bare, toenails yellow and a good inch longer than his toes.

He leaned forward, peering at Gabriel with red ringed, weepy eyes. "So it is. Fancy that."

His gaze turned to her and recognition flickered through the rheumy eyes. He stiffened, his knuckles white as he clenched the door.

"You," he breathed softly. "You're dead. They said you were dead."
