Tears of Dark Water - Couverture souple

November 2011: Somali pirates hijack a sailboat, taking Americans Daniel Parker and his teenaged son, Quentin, hostage. The tense standoff orchestrated by negotiator Paul Derrick ends in tragedy, leaving Quentin’s mother, Vanessa, struggling to maintain hope. The pirates are extradited to stand trial in the United States, and a young man named Ismail is identified by his cohorts as their leader.

Fearing that the truth will endanger the only person he has left in the world—his sister, Yasmin—Ismail stays quiet, but his lawyer’s investigation threatens everything as she traces Ismail’s journey from Mogadishu to a Kenyan refugee camp to the large Somali immigrant community in Minneapolis. As tension mounts, Ismail must put everything on the line to reveal the truth behind the attack.

Tragedy All-American power broker Daniel Parker is sailing around the world with his son, Quentin, in an attempt to reconnect. Their bond has become stronger than ever—until they are attacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean.

Vengeance Ismail is the leader of the pirate band. He has secrets that even his men don’t know. Secrets he will hold on to even after his arrest. His sister’s life depends on it.

Redemption Paul Derrick is a top FBI negotiator who tries—and fails—to bring both hostages home safely. His twin sister, Megan, a lawyer, is representing Ismail and is determined to find answers about this young man who seems to be something other than what he says he is.
