It is always the innocent who suffer to make the powerful rich. A gripping thriller from the author of the Goodfellowe Series. Paul Deveraux is one of the most powerful politicians in the country. Isadora Dean is the rising star of television news journalism. Two exceptionally talented, successful people brought in to dangerous conflict. Izzy cannot accept the death of her baby daughter Bella. Stubborn and at times irrational, her belief that her daughter is alive leads her to the sordid truth - an international black market where babies are sold for cash. Behind this horrific truth, Isadora detects the sinister hand of Devereux. She is just one woman against the world.The search for her daughter will cost her everything, but as long as she believes that Bella is alive she will never surrender and Paul Devereux must use every means in his power to make sure she is silenced for good.
A grieving mother’s desperate search for her missing daughter uncovers a high-stakes international conspiracy involving a powerful politician. Isadora Dean, a prominent television journalist, refuses to accept the official account of her daughter Bella’s death, leading her to investigate a clandestine black market for infants. Her pursuit of the truth places her in direct opposition to Paul Deveraux, a formidable political figure determined to protect his interests at any cost. The narrative follows Isadora’s increasingly dangerous investigation as she navigates a world of corruption where her personal loss becomes a threat to those in power.
This novel presents a classic confrontation between a determined individual and a corrupt political establishment. The premise suggests a fast-paced narrative that relies on the tension between the investigative drive of a journalist and the calculated maneuvers of a politician. Readers likely find the central conflict regarding the black market trade to be the primary engine of the story’s momentum. The work aligns with the conventions of the political thriller genre, emphasizing the high cost of uncovering hidden truths in a world governed by power and influence.
