Ginny Shapiro stares at the photograph of seven smiling schoolgirls from the exclusive Montgomery Academy. Six of them are dead. She is the only one still alive. The phone rings. Ginny gets in her car and speeds away. Anywhere. Fast. FBI agent Sullivan Dean has the photo, too -- as well as information that came too late to save the others.
