The TISIPHONE betrayal

When Consuela Espinoza discovers that she will be cross-examining the man who deserted her twenty-five years ago in Uruguay at the height of the Falklands War, she is torn between her well-honed professional ethics and a visceral desire for revenge.

While she struggles with her primeval urge to punish Lt. Col. Christopher Martin (The Parachute Regiment (UK)) on the witness stand, what was supposed to be a routine libel suit explodes into a courtroom drama of international proportions when she discovers that her client's brother, code named 'the Inquisitor', was the leader of an intelligence unit responsible for multiple brutal human rights violations in the Americas, Iraq, Iran, Bosnia and other countries in the Middle East.

As the focus shifts to identifying the Inquisitor and his employers, Consuela is devastated to discover that her family has been directly involved in assisting several dictatorships in Central and South America. To further add to the combustible mix, she discovers that Christopher was the leader of the British Army’s TISIPHONE unit assigned to tracking and eliminating these war criminals.

Had he used her to assist his investigation in the Americas?

The question remains unanswered when she realizes that she and her children are threatened by the ensuing maelstrom of international intrigue that has invaded the Manhattan courtroom.

In desperation, Consuela turns to the only man who can possibly help her to protect her family—Lt. Col. Chris Martin.

But can she trust him this time?
