When \u003ci\u003eKirkus  Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e greeted Mary Willis Walker's last book,  \u003ci\u003eThe Red Scream,\u003c\/i\u003e with \"welcome  to the big time,\" they weren't kidding. That  novel established Walker as an author with  \"the kind of clout that sets publishers' mouths  watering\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Philadelphia  Inquirer\u003c\/i\u003e). And now she has done it again, with an  unforgettable tale ripped from the headlines and  more terrifying than our worst nightmares. Kidnapped  by a cult of religious fanatics, an Austin school  bus driver and eleven of his young charges have  been held underground at the group's highly  fortified compound for forty-six days. While a team of  federal negotiators begins to lose all hope of  rescuing the hostages, crime reporter Molly Cates sets  outto discover everything she can about the cult's  iron-willed leader, Samuel Mordecai. And as  the clock ticks inexorably, she takes the role of  Clarisse Starling opposite Mordecai's Hannibal Lecter,  engaging in a psychological confrontation as  harrowing as any in \u003ci\u003eThe Silence Of  The Lambs\u003c\/i\u003e. Tough, terrifying, and relentlessly  heart-wrenching, this is a novel whose images no reader will  ever forget.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067918860528,"sku":"9780804154048","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780804154048_p0.jpg?v=1763728392","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780804154048","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
