He may have a break when one of the suspects, a father of two, appears to have gone on the run. Is he the terrorist behind the threat? Is he trying to escape Avrahams intense investigation? Or perhaps hes fleeing a far more terrible crime that no one knows has been committed?No matter how much Avraham wants to atone for the past, redemption may not be possible-not when hes entangled in a case more deceptive and abominable than any hes ever faced.
