Two massive reads in one. When The Bough Breaks: It began with a very vicious, gruesome double murder. Only one witness: little Melody Quinn, who can't or won't say a word. Child psychologist Alex Delaware comes in and takes the first step into a maelstrom of atrocities. Blood Test: Gravely ill little Woody Swope has parents - members of a bizarre cult called the Touchers - who refuse to allow him treatment. They threatened to remove him from hospital. And then they were gone - leaving a motel suite splashed with blood.
