"You can't kill her," I stammered, finding my voice. "Please . . . you can't do that . . ."
But what else do you do with an injured pigeon? A racing bird that may never fly again? Everyone thinks she should be put out of her misery. Who wants a crock with a broken wing?
Darryl, that's who. He's never had a pet, and he's desperate to keep her. But just when the battle appears to be won, a far more menacing struggle beings. Someone has the knowledge to separate Darryl from his pigeon for ever, unless Darryl does exactly what he's told . . .
