Thea Paris

Winner of the Best First Novel 2018 Award at the International Thriller Writers Awards.

The first in a brand-new series featuring Thea Paris, a kidnap and ransom specialist. Lisa Gardner says The Freedom Broker is 'clever and gritty', and Peter James says it's 'spellbinding'. If you like I Am Pilgrim, David Baldacci's King and Maxwell series or Ludlum's Bourne series, you will love this.

Thea Paris is one of only 25 elite professionals in the world with the ability to bring hostages home safely. International negotiation, undercover operations and extractions are a part of life. Their only objective: release.

For Thea, her family's wealth meant kidnap was a constant threat, and their worst fears were realised when her brother was kidnapped. Although he was returned, she made it her life's mission to stop others suffering the trauma they did.

Now Thea's past is about to come back with a vengeance, as her billionaire father is taken.

With her professionalism challenged to its limits, all Thea knows is that she has to get her father back alive, at any cost.
