About the Book:
Little Danny Manning is an adorable angel whose startling abilities are veiled in secrecy. When the boy disappears, detective Tony Favata catches the case. With no clues, a distracted partner and a frenzied media feasting on wild tales, sorting the guilty from the innocent isn't easy. Danny's frantic mother claims to be a clueless victim, but is she complicit? A deadbeat dad, a deranged granny, a prickly pediatrician, a scheming research scientist and a sinister cabal with deep pockets and scary proclivities all come under suspicion. Tony decides the truth is obvious, but can he prove it?

An early review:
"Award-winning suspense author Diane J. Newton's "Paradigm" is a skillfully crafted read that will keep adults and young adults glued to the pages. As with Newton's earlier books, "Children of the Sun' and "Unusual Destiny," it is a thriller. It is first and foremost a tale of suspense and the writer excels at leaving genuine clues rather than red herrings, much to the delight of mystery fans. The characters in this human drama are vividly scripted, from Danny's no-account absentee father to the power driven research doctor. Add malevolent Pentagon operatives, Danny's spitfire lady pediatrician, religious fanatics damning Kate to eternal fires and you have a recipe for non-stop action. A budding romance adds the frosting and this adventure will leave you hungry for more."-Lockport Union Sun & Journal and The Medina Journal-Register February 28, 2005
