Broschiertes Buch

The Island

Beschreibung

Human rights attorney Craig Malcault thought he had seen it all after his many successes with difficult clients. That was until the assassination of a close colleague whose valor was at the heart of political struggles in a war-torn country brought Craig face to face with his own breaking point. When a mysterious female client with connections to his deceased friend hires him to work on her behalf, neither superior lawyering skills, nor pinnacles of financial and political power can light the darkness of her demands for justice. Knowing only the essentials for the client's case, Craig travels alone to the war zone. The pieces begin to fall into place as Craig confronts his client's duplicitous, murderous husband and his astute, crafty counterpart, who run the divided country, working with and against a hidden army of freedom fighters. Craig's discoveries upset the status quo and paint an unexpected new future where ideas and identities are not at all what they seemed to be.
