Amanda Jaffe, the heroine of Wild Justice and Proof
Positive, is back—in this twisting tale of international
intrigue and murder that leads her deep into the
past . . . and into the crosshairs of a killer. Charlie
Marsh, a petty thief and con man, becomes a national hero
when he rescues the warden of a state penitentiary during
a prison riot, but it doesn't take long before he is
wanted again, suspected of killing a United States
congressman. After twelve years of living in the African
nation of Batanga, at the mercy of Jean-Claude Baptiste, a
sadistic, power-mad dictator, Charlie flees for home to
face his murder charge, when Baptiste learns about
Charlie's affair with the tyrant's favorite wife. But it's
not just the state of Oregon that's got it in for the
philandering con. Criminal lawyer Amanda Jaffe has her
work cut out for her. She must keep Charlie off death row,
protect him from the head of Baptiste's deadly secret
police, and prevent him from being caught by a shadowy
killer who will stop at nothing to keep the truth about a
decade-old crime buried forever.
