Pretty and popular, sixteen-year-old Mariah Ebinger is the typical American teen. Well, except for the weird dreams. And the helicopter phobia. And the-OK, this is pretty strange-the ability to speak Spanish. She's, like, never even heard Spanish! But except for that stuff, totally typical. The terrible thing is that Rolando Carrera may be typical as well. His wife and daughter murdered by the death squads in Argentina's dirty war, Carrera has crossed some terrible internal line. His grief, his rage...they have blended into a toxic cocktail of obsession with one single burning aim: Kill Mariah Ebinger.
Carolyn Hougan grew up in New Jersey, attended the University of Wisconsin, and lived in and around Washington, DC, with her husband, writer Jim Hougan; she died of cancer in 2007, at the age of 63. Her extraordinary espionage novel The Romeo Flag was the impetus behind the launch of Felony & Mayhem Press; we simply could not stand the idea that this superb writer was out of print, so we set out to correct the problem.
