Appointment in Mordora

By David T. Wolf

Welcome to Mordora. It's a dark place with secrets so powerful they trigger a double abduction and a murder. And so toxic that revealing the truth would be worse than the crimes themselves. It's a convoluted tale of murder, twisted love, simmering hate, a screwed-up abduction, and a cop who falls in love with the mom of the abducted boy, only to realize that revealing the person behind the kidnapping would destroy her. It begins with a murder that isn't a murder. Soon a double abduction brings the police into the case. To Police Detective Jacob Zaag, it feels wrong from the start. Why would someone kidnap a developmentally disabled teenager and his adult sitter? A random grab? A sex crime? As the investigation proceeds, Zaag deeply empathizes with Andrea, the boy's single mom, 30, so damaged by her parents' rejection. Zaag, emotionally vulnerable after a painful divorce, falls in love with her. Surprising revelations send Zaag into the murky depths of her past and uncover a thicket of possible suspects and motives. When the truth finally emerges, it's so toxic he fears simple justice will destroy the woman he loves. But who says justice has to be simple?
