Heather Rose Popescue, a Chinese-American married to Anton, an abusive male, gives away the baby she has passed off as her own. She knows Anton will be furious, but she is determined to do the right thing from now on. That is an understatement as she is beaten into unconsciousness for refusing to have sex with the Popescue who comes into her home.
The case is assigned to Sargent April Woo with extreme pressure to quickly solve the case: discover Heather's attacker and find out the location of the missing baby. However, April soon learns that Heather never gave birth to the missing child and Anton is too clever to leave the marks on her face that the culprit left. April digs deeper even though she has to place her own life on the line to catch the true perpetrator.
STEALING TIME provides readers with a gigantic growth in April's role as a police officer and as a woman. She now heads up the investigation and it is her career that is on the line if she fails to produce the answers. Though he is finally her lover, Mike Sanchez is no longer her partner. Readers will begin to woo Leslie Glass, who keeps getting better with each new novel. Leslie Glass has the talent to take her to the top of her chosen profession.
