Andres suspects his wife has left him--again. Then he learns that the
unthinkable has happened: she's been kidnapped. Too much time and too
many secrets have come between Andres and Marabela, but now that she's
gone, he'll do anything to get her back. Or will he?
As Marabela slips farther away, Andres must decide whether they still
have something worth fighting for, and exactly what he'll give up to
bring her home. And unfortunately, the decision isn't entirely up to
him, or up to the private mediator who moves into the family home to
negotiate with the terrorists holding Marabela. Andres struggles to
maintain the illusion of control while simultaneously scrambling to
collect his wife's ransom, tending to the needs of his two young
children, and reconnecting with an old friend who may hold the key to
his past and his wife's future.
Set in Lima, Peru, in a time of civil and political unrest, this
evocative page-turner is a perfect marriage of domestic drama and
suspense.
