Book ID/图书代码： 06840008B26896

English Summary/英文概要： Amanda Jaffe, the heroine of Wild Justice and Proof Positive, is back in a twisting tale of international intrigue and murder that leads her deep into the past…and into the crosshairs of a killer.
Charlie Marsh, a petty crook and con man, became a national hero when he rescued the warden of the state penitentiary during a prison riot. His good fortunes didn’t last. Charlie soon found himself on the run, accused of murdering United States Congressman Arnold Pope Jr.
Now, after twelve years living in Batanga, Africa, Charlie flees for home. Better to face his murder charge than the wrath of the sadistic, powermad dictator Jean Claude Baptiste, recent discoverer of the tryst between his favorite wife and none other than—you guessed it—Mr. Charlie Marsh.
Criminal lawyer Amanda Jaffe has her work cut out for her. Can she manage to keep Charlie off death row, protect him from the deadly head of Baptiste’s secret police and prevent him from being murdered by a shadowy killer who will stop at nothing to keep the truth about a decadeold crime buried forever?
