The daughter of a U.S. Senator is monitoring her social media presence when she finds a picture of herself on a strange blog. She finds pictures of the children of other influential Washington politicians, walking or standing outside their schools, each identified by name. Surrounding the photos are texts of vicious political rants from a motley variety of radical groups. Is there an unstable extremist tracking the loved ones of powerful politicians with deadly intent? The FBI can't pin down the photographer's IP address, and no crime has actually been committed -- yet. The politicians call in someone who can operate outside the FBI's constraints: Lucas Davenport.

The Highland Branch Library has long played an important role in downtown Highland. From its beginnings in rented storefronts to the Highland Memorial Library built in 1946 to its present location on Jewett and 4th Street, it has been an integral part of the community. The exterior of the library looks nearly as it did when it was first built in 1966. Although it is one of the oldest buildings in the library system, it's newly remodeled interior makes it one of the newest. The library still houses over 65,000 items, but now also features a large meeting room and children's program room, a small group room, and WiFi, along with many public Internet computers. These features, along with the library's bright and inviting atmosphere and convenient location, make the Highland Branch Library a destination for the community and surrounding areas.
