Synopsis: Eight-year-old Amy Kaslov is pretty and charming, she's been abused and seems helpless, but threaten her and she'll destroy you . . . . It begins with a cool breeze, like a shiver of fear. It swirls into the mind of eight-year-old Amy and she becomes puppet and puppet-master of a terrifying power to make people do things . . . whether they want to or not. But Amy also has the power to touch others with her beauty, charm and helplessness. Detective Joe Levin is drawn to Amy. He wants to protect the terrified orphan who has seen her father murder her mother. Levin takes her home to his wife Jeannie, his daughter Greta, and his troubled teenage son Paulie. That a child who had seen so much hate could still return love seems a miracle. Then Paulie Levin starts a campaign of spite against her, and unleashes a demonstration of Amy's awesome powers of retribution. Could such terror have the face of a beautiful child? Filled with page after page of gripping action and crackling suspense, AMY GIRL is Bari Wood's spine-chilling new novel and the latest example of the edge-of-the-seat storytelling power that has made her a major best-selling author of high-voltage thrillers.
