Midnight in Port au Prince. The consul’s wife is found dead, shot through the heart, while nearby, on the grounds of an elite club, a young tennis pro buries a bloodied shirt.

The consul claims the bullet that killed his wife was meant for him, and it’s up to security agent Dolores “Dolly” Weill to get him to safety in the U.S. embassy. Dolly’s career is circling the drain, and finding the killer is just what she needs to get it back on track. Ignoring her boss’s insistence that the shooting was a burglary-gone-bad, she decides to investigate on her own. She’s just getting started when Haiti’s military stages a coup. Thousands of desperate Haitians flee in leaky boats, among them, the young tennis pro who has the answers Dolly’s looking for.

This second AmEmbassy thriller follows an eclectic cast of characters in a sweeping story that is as intriguing as Haiti itself, from an inside look at an embassy in crisis, to a descent into an idyllic fishing village where the killer tries to silence those who can identify him.
