A lethal mistake long ago that condemned thousands to a lingering death. A government cover-up and a lust for vengeance that can never be eased by the passing years, even if it claims many innocent lives. 17-year-old Annette Newman is kidnapped as she serves a self-imposed penance for her privileged position. The crime appears mundane, designed only to make money, until the discovery of the ransom note and the mysterious letters PP printed so very deliberately at the end. The kidnappers face trial. The evidence is fragile, only just sufficient to put before a jury. But in an aged and hushed courtroom a unique verdict is returned. It's a decision which has deadly consequences for Annette. And for the kidnappers, too. When the law fails, sometimes vengeance can be the only choice that remains.
