Amanda Jaffe, star of the New York Times bestselling novels WILD JUSTICE and PROOF POSITIVE, returns in a story of international intrigue combined with our own country's radical past.
Charlie Marsh, a petty crook and con man, becomes a national hero when he rescues the warden of the state penitentiary during a prison riot, but it doesn't take long before Charlie is on the run to escape a charge of murdering a United States Congressman. Now, after twelve years of living in Batanga, Africa, at the mercy of sadistic, power mad dictator Jean Claude Baptiste, Charlie flees for home to face his murder charge after Baptiste learns about Charlie's affair with the tyrant's favorite wife. But it's not just the State of Oregon that's out to get him. Criminal lawyer Amanda Jaffe has her work cut out for her. She must keep Charlie off of death row, protect him from the deadly head of Baptiste's secret police and keep him from being murdered by a shadowy killer who will stop at nothing to keep the truth about a decade old crime buried forever.
