The Pursuit of Sister Frederick

About the Book

It all starts innocently enough at a summer church carnival. Before it is over there is horror and sorrow, supreme happiness and utter disbelief.

A little girl vanishes from the merry-go-round. One moment she is there, the next she is gone and a parent’s worst nightmare begins to play out. And she will not be the only little girl to disappear.

In the small enclave of South Philadelphia catastrophe draws many people from many different worlds. The police, a team of detectives unhappily thrown together, an aging Mafia don, and the child’s teacher, Sister Frederick, all become involved in first one then another frightening abduction. The story travels through several different worlds as children are sought and found, saved and destroyed.

About the Author

Erma Sobol and Dave Lubeck make up an unmatched pair. People of varied interests, their job histories include such fields are music publishing, French and English teaching, philately, litigation, healthcare, telecommunications, and that is not all. This book was written at a shared computer over a long string of Monday evenings, among heated discussions of subjects some unrelated to Sister Frederick. A blending of very different minds led to this book. Although they can no longer tell who wrote which parts, each is sure he/she wrote the best bits.
