The elusive clue

the long version

It seemed that pretty young Ann Edwards was always being asked to help with other people's problems. But when she heard the frightened voice of a mother asking her to take care of a little girl, Ann knew this was no simple domestic dilemma, but a dangerous assignment. Suddenly she was in the middle of a sinister case of kidnapping, with the threat of violence hanging over her and with a man whom she did not know whether to love or fear. Ann was in a race against time to find the clue that would unlock the menacing doors of mystery while her own life and that of an innocent child hung in perilous balance.
