""A deportation proceeding...plunges Oregon attorney Barbara Holloway into kidnapping, murder, and other high crimes and misdemeanors...A book that includes sex, drugs, piracy, a homicidally dysfunctional family, official corruption on two continents, and a rousing finale that will bring all your moral self-righteousness to the surface."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews"" ""Barbara finds mystery, danger, and intrigue...Barbara is a compelling character--intelligent and capable yet vulnerable enough for readers to worry about the danger she encounters."" -- ""Booklist"" ""Intense and frightening...A finely plotted mystery wrapped in a human-rights tragedy that will keep readers guessing as they try to figure out the culprits."" -- ""RT Book Reviews (4 stars)"" ""MacDuffie effortlessly portrays a cast of native and non-native English speakers--an ex-NFL player, a retired Hollywood producer, a homicidal drug lord, and legitimate and illegitimate immigration and drug enforcement operatives. Binnie Owens, a deaf, nonverbal young woman who is fleeing slavery in Haiti, is at the center of the plot. MacDuffie's impeccable pauses bring to life in audio format a character who speaks with her hands. Amazing!"" -- ""AudioFile""
