Pregovaračica

K. J. Howe

Thea Paris has struggled with guilt all her life. When she was only eight years old, she watched frozen with fear as her twelve-year-old brother Nikos was kidnapped from their home in Kanzi, Africa.

Although her brother was returned home a few months later, he was never the same. That experience shaped Thea's life, and that's why she became one of the best negotiators in kidnappings. But the ghosts of the past have not calmed down. Twenty years after the kidnapping of her brother Nikos, Thea is again caught in the same nightmare - on her sixtieth birthday, her father, oil magnate Christos Paris, was kidnapped. He simply evaporated from his yacht anchored in Santorini, and all the crew members were executed. Instead of a ransom demand, the kidnapper sends messages with proverbs in Latin, and the sender cannot be traced. Thea looks into every corner of her father's life, but the list of his enemies and rivals is endless. What does the kidnapper want? Also, Thea has an ominous premonition that after this case, her family will no longer exist...
