Saving Paulo by David J. Walker
Charlie Long, celebrating the loss of his job with a couple of mid-day beers, sees two thugs murder a man who's shielding a frightened little boy. Charlie snatches the boy and runs...and is quickly caught in a web that stretches from Russia to Rio, from the mansions of Lake Forest to the huts of the Amazon Basin. "Saving Paulo is...a complex thriller with a compassionate heart. This is a twisting, turning story about a group of misfits who do their best to rescue a boy worth saving, and Walker had me rooting for them every step of the way." -- William Kent Krueger
"This is Edgar nominee Walker's first stand-alone thriller. Readers should be hooked from the first scene. What follows is a plunge into a protracted chase... through a wonderfully sustained suspense story." -- Booklist
