terrifying: Their husbands' assassins have also targeted them. Intense

Four scientists working for the New York-based Kingsley International
Group have died or disappeared within 24 hours. Wolfish top boss Tanner
Kingsley vows to find the perpetrator; meanwhile, stunning artist Diane
Stevens, wife of a just-murdered KIG scientist, and supermodel Kelly
Harris, whose husband has likewise been killed, find themselves under
attack by mysterious strangers.Four men connected to a major think tank die-and their wives get really suspicious. With a one-day laydown on September 14.MY OWN REVIEW: Four deaths in four locations - the link is
that the victims work for the same agency -- KIG a 'think tank'
institution. Global 'problem solvers' is a great premise for a plot but
Sheldon does not deliver in depth. Are You Afraid of the Dark is a
shallow writing. The author renders a 'script' that delivers a
screenplay. The dialog exchanges are weak in content and relevance.
