Wounded Earth: An Environmental Thriller (English Edition)

Environmental scientist Larabeth McLeod is being stalked. A man calling himself Babykiller promises a nuclear catastrophe that will doom the daughter she has never known, unless she does exactly as he says. But maybe Babykiller has met his match. Maybe he should have picked someone else to play his twisted games.

Larabeth has beauty, money, several patents, a Ph.D., a successful environmental firm, and some very old secrets. When a man with the uncomfortable name of Babykiller begins stalking her, terrorizing her with stories of her darkest days in Vietnam that no one else could possibly know, she feels compelled to fight back...until he exposes her most tender secret of all by threatening the daughter she has never met. If Babykiller has a weakness, it lies in underestimating the power of a mother's love for her child.

She turns to private detective J.D. Hatten for help, breaking five years of separation and silence between quarreling friends. And then Babykiller shows his true capabilities. If she goes to the police for protection, people will die. Lots and lots of people will die. And one of them will be her daughter.

Larabeth and J.D. are just a normal man and woman, up against a babykiller. But then, Babykiller doesn't know who he's dealing with...
