[LIBRARY EDITION Audiobook CD format in sturdy Vinyl Case with cloth sleeves that keep compact discs protected.] [Read by Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Ewbank]A thrilling novel of steadfast courage, intimate passions, and the profound risks that are taken in the name of love . . . There are eight words Meg Moore has never been able to forget: the United States refuses to negotiate with terrorists. But what was merely a chilling warning when she worked as a translator in a European embassy now spells out a potential death sentence for her daughter and grandmother, who have been kidnapped by a lethal group called the Extremists. Meg has to act--and quickly. Going against everything she was taught, she will now do anything to meet their unspeakable demands; anything--even kill--to save her child.
