Protection

Kip Townsend, the single father of eight-year-old Jamie, is happy with his life as a grad student holding down a part-time job to make ends meet. Then his parents are killed in a carjacking.



As if that wasn't bad enough, it seems Kip's father was actually murdered because he witnessed a child being kidnapped. The authorities--believing the killer might think their father told them what he saw and come after Kip and his sister, Emily--put them under police protection.



But others are watching over them, and Kip's son Jamie, as well--others whose mandate it is to keep them safe. Angels, Jamie calls them, after seeing one of them. But Kip believes it's only his imagination. Whether it is, or isn't, Kip's and Emily's lives may depend on them, as well as the police, if the killer reappears.
