In the latest from bestselling author Kate Wilhelm, attorney Barbara Holloway tackles one of her most complex, compelling, and dangerous cases yet. Barbara Holloway is a low-key attorney in Eugene, Oregon, who left her fathers high-powered firm to handle small legal problems for local residents and ponder her next move. But while trying to sort out her own future, two people, desperate for help, show up on her doorstep former pro football player Martin Owens and his wife, Binnie. Binnie, who is mute, met her husband when she sneaked aboard his boat while it was docked in Haiti and smuggled herself into the U.S. Now Immigration is seeking to deport her back to Haiti, which would be a death sentence. Born to a woman from Belize who was kidnapped and enslaved by pirates, Binnies only hope is to prove her and her mothers real identity.
