description: A blind child and a Catholic nun disappear from a city sidewalk in plain sight of onlookers. There then gonevanished in seconds. Those who witnessed the event still cannot believe it happened. It was all too real. Detective Kathy Mallory and the NYPDs Special Crimes Unit enter the investigation when the nuns body is found with three other corpses in varying stages of decomposition left on the lawn of Gracie Mansion home to the mayor of New York City. Sister Michael was the last to die. The child Jonah Quill is still missing. Like Jonah the police are blind. Unknown to them he is with a stone killer and though he has unexpected resources of his own his would-be saviors have no suspect no useful evidence and no clue  except for Detective Mallorys suspicions of things not said and her penchant for getting to the truth beneath lies. Behind her back the squads name for her is Mallory the Machine yet she has a dark understanding of what it is to be human. A child is waiting time is running out and atop her list of liars is the mayor himselfand a theory of the crimes in which no sane cop could believe.
