Description
A political storm erupts when Claire Deveraux, a deaf employee of the U.S. Embassy in France, is abducted at a conference in Rome.
The kidnapper, Franco Lazzari, is a wealthy pharmacist who has been scouring Italy for the perfect wife. Unable to hear, and with time against her, Claire must use all of her wits to escape Lazzari’s remote home in the Italian countryside.
Yet neither Claire nor the police know the actual danger she is in. Lazzari is in league with a senior official at the U.S. embassy—a man who is willing to leverage all of his clout to stop Claire being found.

Interesting thriller centering around a hearing impaired victim of a man who is both deluded and capable of harming his victim via coercion and those who work hard to free her. Well done and scary.
I requested and received an EARC from BooksGoSocial via NetGalley.

Book #2 in the Claire Deveraux series. The book could definitely be read as a stand alone but book #1 was a great read introducing the Deveraux sisters and setting them up for future adventures. In NEVER SAY A WORD, Claire is kidnapped by a rich man who decides she will be his next wife. A paralell story line has a US Embassy employee working against Claire's efforts to escape. So far, these books have been full of action with some kick ass women working against their challenges to just get by. Alan Brenham has done a skillful job of matching the characters to their actions and making them heroes in their own rights.
