In Rio, redemption is dangerous—and sometimes deadly.
John Milton is in Brazil for Rock in Rio, hoping the music and anonymity of the vast city might offer a little peace. But when a simple favour for an old army friend goes violently wrong, Milton finds himself in the middle of a lethal conspiracy.
Tasked with escorting the wife and daughter of an anti-corruption judge to a school recital, Milton barely survives an ambush—and the girl is abducted. The judge has made powerful enemies by prosecuting Brazil’s elite, and now they’re striking back. As Milton recovers, he vows to make things right.
But this is no ordinary kidnapping. From the favelas of Rocinha to the jungle compounds of Rio’s criminal underworld, Milton uncovers a web of bribery, betrayal, and blood money that reaches the highest levels of power. And the deeper he digs, the more dangerous the game becomes—for himself and for the innocent girl he’s sworn to protect.
Corruption runs deep in the Marvellous City. And Milton is about to learn just how high the price of redemption can be.
Genre: Thriller
