Now in paperback, New York Times Best Selling author Leslie Glass brings us a can't-miss chiller - her scariest novel and best book yet. In Tracking Time, the sixth novel in the series, NYPD Detective April Woo and Dr. Jason Frank - mystery's intriguing cop and user-friendly psychoanalyst - become ensnared in the most frightening terrorist threat to American society, the family.

With nearly a million and a half "Time" novels in print and a growing audience for her addictive characters and powerful stories of contemporary culture and crime, Leslie Glass again goes deep behind the headlines to break new ground with this twenty-first century story of family interaction, betrayal, and hurt that's as dark, true-to-life, and close to home as home itself. Glass takes us on a disturbing journey with three out-of-control young people as four families crumble when adult deception, betrayal, and self-delusion propel teenage lust into a passion to kill, and kill again. Guaranteed to keep readers turning pages deep into the night, Tracking Time is a real winner!

It's a foggy early September evening when Dr. Maslow Atkins, a psychoanalytic candidate and student, is assaulted and disappears in Central Park.

The only people who know what happened to him are Pee Wee, an inebriated homeless man hoping for a handout; Brandy and David, two wealthy private school kids who roam the Internet and Central Park; and Allegra, Maslow's disturbed young patient who's obsessed with him.

Investigating outside her jurisdiction of Midtown North and without authority in the sacred confines of the Central Park Precinct, Sergeant April Woo prompts a media frenzy and the rage of the whole department with a K-9 search that yields nothing. Nothing, that is, except the keen interest of Brandy and David, who think they can tease the cops, bluff the tracking dog, and get away with murder.

April's gut instinct still tells her that Maslow is alive, and she won't stop until she finds him. Working against the clock and demons of her own, she and Jason become embroiled in a surprising and lethal tangle of family secrets and adolescent rage. Nobody escapes unscathed, for no family's story is as innocent as it seems.

Glass grew up in New York City where she worked in the book publishing industry and at New York Magazine. Tracking Time was first released in hardcover in October of 2000. Glass is the author of nine novels including Stealing Time (1999), released February 2000 as a Signet lead paperback; Judging Time (1998), Loving Time (1996), Hanging Time (1995), and Burning Time (1993).
