“Hello Matt, my name is Amal. I have kidnapped your sister and your friend.”

And suddenly, four lives intertwine in the deserts of North Africa: Becca, a damaged champion of trafficked girls; Kate, a newly-minted do-gooder content with her life; Matt, a silver-tongued salesman sprinting from his past; and Amal, a young man raised in violence, trying to make the most of limited options.

As Becca and Kate fight captivity, Matt enters frantic negotiations with Amal, while struggling to understand the strange new world of kidnap and ransom threatening all forms of international aid.

Will Matt succeed before time runs out? Do Becca and Kate survive? When Darkness Falls, what will each of them discover?

What readers are saying:

“A must read: I couldn’t put the book down, gripping story of the dangers of living for something that might cost you your life.”
– A.S. Amazon Review

“Gripping! I’ve never read a story that was so personal, the characters so real, the events so detailed and true to life. It’s as if this author lived through this tale of faith and survival herself. The images still are imprinted on my mind months after reading it.”
– P.K. Amazon Review

“Riveting! I couldn’t put this book down. The story felt real and scary and too close to home. It is one I will read again.”
– C.D. Amazon Review
