Author Description

Teresa "T.C." Contreras, a tough but compassionate Tucson schoolteacher, has come to Puerto Vallarta to leave behind the pain of her ruined life: a failed marriage to a wayward cowboy, the tragic death of their only son. But when she stumbles upon a murder and kidnapping attempt, T.C. is suddenly jolted out of her despair and plunged into a shadowy world of international deception. A team of "facilitators" - mercenary agents hiding behind a cloak of diplomatic privilege - has been sent to Mexico to recapture the young son of a powerful Middle Eastern rebel leader. T.C. snatches the boy from their clutches, without thinking of her own survival, and sets out on a desperate flight for freedom through the back country of Mexico and the American Southwest.
