Only one is a woman: Thea Paris. And she's the best in the business.Twenty years ago, a terrified young boy was abducted in the middle of the night by masked intruders while his sister watched, paralyzed with fear. Returned after a harrowing nine months with his captors, Thea's brother has never been the same.This life-shattering experience drove Thea to become what she is today: a world-class freedom broker. Most hostage-recovery work is done at the negotiation table, but when diplomacy fails, Thea leads Quantum Security International's black-ops team on highly sensitive rescue missions to political hot spots around the globe.Her childhood nightmare resurfaces when her oil magnate father, Christos Paris, is snatched from his yacht off Santorini on his sixtieth birthday, days away from the biggest deal of his career. The brutal kidnappers left the entire crew slaughtered in their wake, but strangely, there are no ransom demands, no political appeals, no prisoner release requests-just obscure and foreboding texts written in Latin sent from burner phones.Knowing the survival window for kidnap victims is small, Thea throws herself into the most urgent and challenging rescue mission of her life-but will she be able to prevent this kidnapping from destroying her family for good? 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cQuercus,|d2017. |nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 667 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9781681443102 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/2763979 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=252d5800- f2b6-4af0-8b25-f72924cc2da2&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0017-1/ %7B252D5800-F2B6-4AF0-8B25-F72924CC2DA2%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover Image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0017-1/ %7B252D5800-F2B6-4AF0-8B25-F72924CC2DA2%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover Image
