A "find the girl" book noir, a CIA spy novel with the blue note of lost love and redemptive faith.
Seventeen-year-old Christiane disappears in Amsterdam.
UN translator Fiona Michaels flies to Amsterdam to search for her daughter, Christiane, who disappears while traveling abroad with art students from Yale. Suspecting that the Amsterdam police are corrupt, Fiona enlists the assistance of her first husband, Dante O’Farrell, an Interpol agent, and fiancé, Tilman De Kerk, CEO of a diamond corporation, to help find Christiane.
The search for the lost daughter takes characters to the diamond mines of Africa, the streets of Kiev, and the brothels, churches, canals, theaters, music halls, and coffeehouses of Amsterdam. The accretion of evidence links Christiane’s disappearance to the CIA and a charismatic double agent of the Russian Mafia.
Will Fiona find her daughter?
