Their senses now come alive as the adrenaline overcomes the effects of Alcohol and cocaine. Their screams are muffled by their captors with growls of "Shut up bitch!" as the sounds of ripping undergarments fill the cavern of the moving van. Soon duct tape makes all vocal reaction useless and the sexual assaults begin. From the front seat, an older man tries to talk some sense into the brutal attackers. They are too good at sexual abuse to stop now. The grunting and shouting goes on as the van pulls off into an alley near the Boston Common. In less than an hour, both girls have been sexually brutalized and one of the girls is dead, her face beaten to a pulp and her throat slit in a violent expression of rage. The other girl is numb and appears barely alive. Detective Caroline "Carey" Hart is called in to investigate a homicide and solve a kidnapping.

This is a first Caroline Hart Novel, there will be more to come. Contributor Bio:  Johnson, Robert M Robert M. Johnson has published thirty novels to date and ten works of professional reflection in his field of Psychology and Mental Health. For the past twenty years he has been researching the information contained in this present work of Historical fiction. It blends together elements of personal history and creative insight. The Shea Saga that is portrayed in this work reflects the struggles that many Americans faced during the difficult era of the Prohibition and the Great Depression. Catherine Shea Gendreau was a survivor, someone who made the best of a life that was far from perfect. Her story, though emblematic of thousands of people who suffered through the troubling times between the two World Wars, deserves to be told. Her brothers and sisters and her parents display that which is greatest about America: when a family pulls together, they can overcome the seemingly impossible obstacles of culture and law. The author has done extensive study of this period of American history, but the story of Katie comes as much from the knowledge of family history as it does from the heart. When families face life as one unit, the combined force is extraordinary. Such is the story of Katie.
