Trisha Baldazar, new mother and wife of a Texas state senator, thinks nothing of the nurse who comes to her room to take her daughter April back to the newborn nursery -- until the baby goes missing. How could someone have gotten April past the door alarms, and why does the surveillance tape not show the abduction? Was it an inside job? These are questions the FBI wants answers to as it takes on the crucial job of locating the baby.

Even though they expect a ransom demand, FBI agents John Ransom and Kathy Devereaux still leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of April and her kidnapper(s). It soon becomes apparent that there are other factions and even more sinister elements at work in the abduction. When an informant tells Ransom that a local satanic cult is getting ready to stage a human sacrifice ceremony with an infant, time is of the essence to save the child. And everyone is shocked at the outcome.

Former FBI agent Mark Bouton has written a compelling and fast-paced thriller. With realistic characters and tightly woven plot development, THE SACRIFICE is a page-turner that will keep readers entranced until the explosive ending. Another great book from this talented author.
