The freedom broker

Howe, K. J. (Author).

Summary: Kidnap negotiator Thea Paris has spent her entire life with survivor's guilt, following an unspeakable childhood tragedy. At eight years old, she watched, frozen in fear, as her twelve-year-old brother, Nikos, was abducted from their home in Kanzi, Africa. Although he was recovered nine months later, he was never the same after that; worse, Thea discovers that she was supposed to have been the target. This defining experience drives Thea to become one of the top operatives in the field of kidnap-and-ransom consultancy. Nicknamed "Liberata" because she once secured the release of a captive from the Sicilian mob without her client paying a cent, she travels the globe trying to bring hostages home--mostly through negotiation, but occasionally through more forceful means. She is very good at her job.

Summary

The Freedom Broker: a Heart-Stopping, Action-packed Thriller


"RAZOR SHARP AND FULL OF YOU-ARE-THERE AUTHENTICITY--A SUPERB THRILLER." --LEE CHILD "AN AMAZING PAGE-TURNER." --JEFF AYERS, ASSOCIATED PRESS "MOVE OVER JASON BOURNE, ACTION HAS A NEW NAME!" --LISA GARDNER The survival window for kidnap victims is small. And Thea Paris is running out of time. Thea Paris, one of only twenty-five elite kidnap and ransom specialists in the world--and the only one who is a woman--is the best in the business. And she's facing the most urgent and challenging rescue mission of her life: her own father's. As a child, Thea was forced to watch, paralyzed with fear, while her younger brother was abducted in the middle of the night by masked intruders. This life-changing experience drove her to become what she is today: a world-class freedom broker. When Thea's 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 leave the entire crew slaughtered in their wake. Can Thea rescue her father--and prevent this kidnapping from destroying her family for good?
