After nearly being kidnapped, Myron catches a glimpse of a teenage blonde girl who resembles Terese and wonders if perhaps Miriam's death was faked.

Myron and his accomplice Win investigate the charity “Save the Angels,” which promotes adoption over stem-cell research and is run by right-wing conservative Christians.

Myron and the French detective Berleand track the teenage blonde girl to a home that was pictured on the “Save the Angels” website.

Upon entering the home, Myron discovers a group of blonde, blue-eyed children who have been raised from stolen embryos by terrorists in the hopes of training them for suicide missions.

It is implied at the end of the book that law enforcement failed to track down all of the terrorists: a blonde, blue-eyed teenage boy with a heavy backpack is seen stepping from a bus and walking into a crowded area of tourists.
