Blackbird Singing

About the book

Everyone thinks that Robert "Sky" Walker has it all. And they're right. He's the world's most famous athlete and the darling of the Chicago Bulls, his wife is a beautiful and internationally adored anchorwoman, and his nine-year-old daughter, Tonya, is the apple of his eye. He has money, fame, awards, and a picture-perfect family. Walker has what everyone wants. And he loses it in a twinkling. Sky Walker's world comes crashing down when Tonya is kidnapped. At first, there is no ransom demand - only deranged E-mail messages, incendiary faxes, and provocative photographs sent to the media. As the world watches on television, lead after lead evaporates. Tom Hopkins, the smalltown detective suddenly dealing with a big-time case, is rapidly caught in the middle of what fast becomes an out-of-control media circus. He realizes that he's dealing with an insane hacker whose motives are highly complex - having more to do with revenge and megalomania than with money.
