Leslie Rhoads is a small town girl on the verge of becoming a supermodel in the Big Apple. The 24-year-old is chosen for the cover of Style magazine, starring in the controversial Passion Nights' perfume ads. But before she can step into the spotlight, Leslie is assaulted; disfigured with a broken scotch bottle. Without her perfect face, she is lost, and no amount of surgery can ever make her what she once was. Trying to hide her face from the world, Leslie encounters more trouble as she seeks to rebuild her life.

On the same night she discovers she is pregnant, 28-year-old nurse Meg Richards' husband is killed in an auto accident caused by a drunken teen. James Thomas, the teen, comes from one of the most influential families in the community. He's a star athlete and glamour boy at the local high school. Angered by her senseless loss, Meg blames God for what has happened and considers a decision that could change her life even further - until the D.A. intervenes.

Helen Meeker has impulsively hopped onto a DC-2, en route to Nazi Germany, in a seemingly foolhardy attempt to save her friend, Henry Reese. Rebecca Bobbs and the rest of the team watch in horrified resignation, unable to stop the inevitable. Meanwhile, Alistar Fistar discovers that without the injections that have given him super-human powers, he'll soon die. And he won't be the only one, as others - much more innocent than Fistar - are sucked into the fatal addiction.

After an assassin's bullet stops Helen Meeker dead in tracks, her friends must find the man who fired the shot. From the streets of Washington, D.C., to the stockyards in Chicago with a side trip to the heart of Texas, danger and intrigue dog a secret government team as Helen hovers between life and death. Will an enemy's blood offer a second chance at life and the key to finding out what a mysterious, tall man really wants?

Once again, Helen Meeker is up against nearly impossible odds as she races against time to rescue both her sister and her partner. To further complicate matters, however, behind-the-scenes experiments threaten the very survival of Western civilization. From the halls of the White House to the hidden laboratory of a diabolical scientist to the foreign fields of battle, a pervading evil moves ever closer to the successful overthrow of all that is good.

Helen Meeker is back and has less than 30 days to stop the execution of an innocent pastor who has unbelievably confessed to being a Nazi spy.
