Cuthbert's Dr. Rae Duprey rivals Chase for sheer determination. In The Silent Cradle a killer is targeting unborn babies en route to Duprey's San Francisco hospital, sending expectant mothers into trauma and the good doctor into overdrive. It's a promising start, but then Freud fouls the action--on page six, no less. Turns out that Duprey's mother died in an ambulance while giving birth to a stillborn baby, leaving behind our neurotic protagonist, whose mantra is "Save the life! Save the life...
