Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I've been writing all my life, and seventeen years ago I found a publisher for my novels. They are suspense novels, and readers tell me they can't put them down. I write novels not only to entertain but to bring a deeper understanding of how the major issues of our time challenge our values. In their pursuit of lofty goals, my protagonists encounter situations that expose their inner conflicts and test their commitments.My books appeal to educated readers of serious fiction and are popular with reading groups. They all have book discussion guides that include an introduction, a conversation with the author, and questions for discussion.My first career was in journalism with the Wall Street Journal, after which I served in the army during the Vietnam War. Then I joined an international bank and worked overseas, initially as an economic and political analyst, applying skills I learned in journalism and the military. My years of living, working, and traveling in foreign countries have given me settings for my novels (Buenos Aires, Madrid, London, Santo Domingo, and other places).

Aus dem Klappentext

This novel is about the courage of five women a refugee, a journalist, a widowed mother, a social worker, and a teacher in Argentina s war of terror during the 1970s. Their stories unfold through the eyes of Stephen, an American banker who has volunteered to stay in Buenos Aires and keep an eye on things for his bank after most foreigners have been evacuated for their safety. Under an arrangement with the bank s chairman, Stephen agrees to help the CIA to stop the main group of terrorists from supporting their activities with the money they have collected as ransom from kidnappings. As he begins this assignment he meets a young woman who has fled to Argentina and is living under a false identity to avoid being killed by terrorists from her own country. They fall in love, and they try to build a life together, but they are endangered by Stephen s pursuit of the terrorist money, and they are drawn into the war by his efforts to help their friends who are targeted by the military government for subversive activities. The risks and the moral dilemmas they face in Argentina s war of terror are like the ones we face in today s global war of terror.
