Publisher's Summary

Barbara Holloway is a low-key attorney in Eugene, Oregon, who left her father’s high-powered firm to handle small legal problems for local residents and ponder her next move. But while trying to sort out her own future, two people, desperate for help, show up on her doorstep: former pro football player Martin Owens and his wife, Binnie. Binnie, who is mute, met her husband when she sneaked aboard his boat while it was docked in Haiti and smuggled herself into the US. Now Immigration is seeking to deport her back to Haiti, which would be a death sentence. Born to a woman from Belize who was kidnapped and enslaved by pirates, Binnie’s only hope is to prove her and her mother’s real identity. With only days to find the truth and protect Binnie, Holloway sets off for Belize. But what she knows is only the tip of the iceberg in what turns out to be one of her most complex, compelling, and dangerous cases yet.

Critic Reviews

“Barbara is a compelling character—intelligent and capable yet vulnerable enough for readers to worry about the danger she encounters.” ( Booklist)

overall good, weak storyline

Like all Barbara novels, this too is a simple yet entertaining story. No extra frills no forced thrill or drama.
However, there is a scope for improvement, just tightening some loose ends. But overall worth of listening.
I wish Barbara novels were arranged sequentially. This should be one of the initial stories. There is no serial number with her books, so sometimes the series, at least initial few chapters are confusing, as you need to remember who is what.
