The clues are hidden in the kidnapper’s words. Can the message be decoded in time?
When Zoe, the five-year-daughter of a powerful Senator, is abducted, the FBI brings in Special Agent MacKenzie Graham, a forensic psycholinguist, to analyze the written threats of the vengeful kidnapper. An expert at what she does, Kenzie probes criminal minds more accurately than she does her own heart.
Working alongside fellow FBI agent John Crowfeather, Kenzie refuses to acknowledge her mysterious attraction to John, and continues to build walls she believes will protect her not only from men but God as well. John is no fan of hers, either, but they have little time to dwell on it as the case grows more dangerous.
When the perpetrator begins posting messages on the Internet, the race is on to save Zoe. Can Kenzie and John rescue the girl before it’s too late? Or will their misguided convictions cost a little girl her life?

Summary
When have words had this much meaning . . . . . . . when a little girl's life is at stake. \"Words of Conviction\" begins quickly and ends with a \"bang\" (literally) ; a heart¬pounding, intrigue¬filled, suspenseful story with just a whisper of impending romance. When Senator Bruce Gable's five year old daughter disappears from his home;, his ego¬centric, underhanded, lucrative business deals may just have come back to haunt him. The FBI brings in Special Agent Mackenzie Graham, a forensic psycholinguist and Agent John Crowfeather,a Navajo veteran, to discern the encrypted meanings underneath the kidnapper's digital messaging. The Senator has many enemies, in addition to supposed \"friends\", who have plenty of reason to use his young daughter as a bargaining chip. It's up to Kenzie and Crow to locate this little girl and bring resolution to a crumbling family, and perhaps even to resolve some of their own lingering doubts and fears. I read and enjoyed Linda White's previous novel \"Seeds of Evidence\" and she has definitely scored again with \"Words of Conviction\"
