Mystery Woman Sleuth
"Los Angeles Times reporter Eve Diamond has spent the day
at LAX, shadowing U.S. Customs Supervisor William Maxwell.
He's got his eye on an incoming flight from Beijing via
Seoul and Tokyo. The flight's packed with the usual mass
of humanity, ranging from the elegant Asian woman in the
raspberry silk pantsuit who emerges from first class
carrying a tired toddler to the scruffy students who have
spent the long flight in economy." "Suddenly, shots ring
out. Three people are dead, including two men who appear
to be businessmen and the silk-clad woman. The man who was
booked on the flight as the dead woman's husband is
missing. And the sad little toddler is left behind." "Who
is this child? Her passport says she's Japanese, but she
doesn't seem to understand the language. Was the dead
woman really her mother? Why has the child made five
transpacific flights in one year? And why does the INS
whisk her immediately into hiding?" Is this child a pawn
in a larger scheme? Why would criminals care about this
little girl? And why is Eve, too, in danger? Eve knows she
must try to find the answers. Her search takes her into
L.A.'s sleazy hotels, cyber-cafes, and into the upscale
milieu of trendy restaurants and high-powered human rights
lawyers. Nothing is quite what it appears to be, and
nobody seems to want Eve to find the child.
