 A Dangerous Game by Heather Graham  473 pages

Criminal psychologist, Kieran Finnegan is the last one to leave the office one night when a woman rushes in with a baby.   The woman thrusts the baby into Kieran's arms and runs away out the door, out of the building and onto the street.   Running after her with the baby in her arms, Kieran shouts for the security guard to go after the woman and stop her.   Before either the guard or Kieran's eyes, though surrounded by a crowd of people, the woman suddenly stops, turns back toward Kieran, then wobbles weakly on her feet before falling down on the sidewalk with a knife sticking out of her.   So begins the tale of Kieran and her F.B.I. Special Agent boyfriend, Craig Frasier.   Though the baby is turned over to Child Services, Kieran can't stop thinking about the beautiful little baby girl, wondering how she is and wanting desperately to get her back to her family.  The woman who was stabbed seemed too old to be the baby's mother and upon examination during an autopsy, it was determined the woman had not given birth recently and the baby was no more than 3 months old.   Craig tells Kieran to stay out of it, but, she can't let it go, and so begins the investigation and search for what happened and where the baby's mother or family might be.   Good story.   I recommend this one to adults, I don't think it would be as interesting to teens or younger.
