People are like the fragments of glass in a stained glass window designed to let the light of God shine through. Indivdually, we appear as useless, discarded throwaways, but God takes all the broken pieces of our lives and fits them together to create something beautiful, something whole-a likeness of Himself which we could never be alone. Full-length sequel to "Cat and Mouse."

She wanted a friend. He needed one. One day, the fearsome, ruthless Inspector Javert meets a young girl alone in the street. Elisabet was idealistic and young, and they awakened within each other dark memories and loneliness that were held at bay for years. But how could they trust each other if they could never trust themselves?

He is Javert, guardian of justice and champion of the law. She is Roche, friend of Fantine's and dark-eyed enigma. Javert is Roche's last-ditch attempt to make things right; Roche is the mistake he never should have made. As they hurtle towards heaven or hell, all they know is that there is no going back.

The Champmathieu case never happened, but Javert is still suspicious of the mayor. With no solid evidence to go on, he is forced to continue the charade until a nearly fatal accident provides him with the opportunity that he has been waiting for. But now Cosette is in the picture-a child of the gutter, just like him-and when a child's life is at stake, it changes everything.

"The peasants of the Asturias believe that in every litter of wolves there is one dog, which is killed by the mother, lest on growing up it should devour the other little ones. Give a human face to this dog son of a wolf, and you will have Javert." Victor Hugo
