In this fast-paced legal thriller inspired by actual events, attorney N. David Winkler takes on the challenge of a lifetime. His client was Maria Theresa Romero, whose mother died leaving behind a letter revealing a series of shocking family secrets.

First, she wasn’t her real mother. Maria Theresa was taken from her real mother by C-section. Her real mother was tortured and killed for her political views by the right-wing military regime during Argentina’s “Dirty War” in the 1970s. Next, the man she knew as her father wasn’t her real father. He was really a former Argentine military man and the murderer of her real mother. Finally, her real father was an Argentine banker who allegedly died in the crash of a private jet. Immediately after the crash his worldwide banking empire collapsed; millions of dollars were missing. Did he die in the crash, or was it a set-up?

The lawyer’s mission: To either confirm that the banker died in the crash or to find him. He has little time as others join in the race to find the missing fortune. His nemesis: a former colonel from the Argentine regime, who is about to be elevated to a position of power in the US Homeland Security to commit the same kinds of atrocities in this country as he did in Argentina.

Could it really happen here?
