"Fans of fast-paced thrillers will be flipping pages toward the final twist, where nothing is as it seems." -Cam Torrens, award-winning author of the Tyler Zahn mystery-suspense series

The year is 2008. Americans Heather and John Ricci are about to leave Vietnam with their amazing, adopted baby boy when something unimaginable happens-the child is abducted. This, after several, grueling years of trying natural conception, multiple rounds of in vitro, and attempting to adopt from China first, then Nepal.

Having fallen in love the moment she laid eyes on her baby, Heather will do anything to get her child back, no matter the danger. John, a sweet, loving man, isn't so sure it's worth risking their lives. Eventually, Heather wins out, and with the help of a grizzled, old Vietnam war vet, the couple desperately follow clues they hope will lead to the baby. A treacherous journey ensues through the maddening streets of Hanoi and Vietnam's Northern jungle full of poisonous snakes, rats, and armed kidnappers.

Only when they've been through hell and back is the astonishing truth revealed.
