Niagara Park Service Policewoman Sylke Miller often looks like her frizzy hair and spotty makeup are done by a blind cosmetician on steroids but she is mostly indifferent about her appearance except for her extremely pale complexion and enormous mahogany eyes. This spacey girl is devoted to her police work and part-time position of medical examiner. Out of nowhere terrorist activities explode on the scene and Sylke finds herself sucked into a maelstrom of horror and death. Children's bodies are found floating near the Niagara Queen dock and at the rocky bases of the American and Canadian falls. She finds an unlikely ally in the person of Tuscarora brave and Vietnam War veteran Leonard Two Trees who unbeknownst to Sylke has filched a backpack nuclear weapon from a Colorado storage site and hidden it somewhere in the Niagara area. Local authorities on both sides of the border are baffled. Terrorist activities spread like wildfire, Sylke is attached to the FBI and works closely with Agent Eric Nordenschield. In spite of these pressures, romance blooms but Sylke has little time to continue the search for her illegitimate child. The tourist ship Niagara Queen is destroyed with heavy casualties, terrorists demand possession of the nuke and murdered children are found daily throughout the area. Though her toughest enemies are the killers she tracks, Sylke's strongest bonds are to her grandchild, her grandfather, old Red Miller, and Eric, her future husband
