Detour Read by Holter Graham

They want what every young couple wants: a child of their own. But Paul and Joanna Breidbart have been trying to conceive for five long years, torturous process of failed medical procedures that nearly tore their marriage apart. When they finally decide to adopt, American agencies tell them they will have to wait years for their dream to come true. The couple agrees to fly to war-torn Colombia to adopt a baby girl. Paul knows all about risks. As an insurance executive, he routinely calculates the odds of dying in a plane crash or being hit by a bus. Yet all the accident statistics in the world can't prepare him for what is about to happen. Paul and Joanna receive the baby girl of their dreams and their world seems perfect. Then one afternoon they briefly leave their baby daughter alone with their new nanny. When they return, something is disturbingly different about their child ... and suddenly everything Paul values is in jeopardy.

  • "When Paul's wife Joanna and their newly adopted daughter are kidnapped, he will go to any lengths to get them back alive - even if that means acting as a drug smuggler. But, when the drugs go missing and he loses all contact with his abductors, Paul finds himself with only one card left to play."

  • "Paul and Joanna desperately want to have children, but their failure to conceive almost ends their marriage. Instead, they decide to adopt and arrange a trip to Colombia to bring home a baby girl. Joelle is everything they've hoped for. To help them ease into parenthood, a nanny has been sent. When they return one night, they discover to their horror that the baby waiting for them isn't Joelle. Suddenly, they're taken prisoner and handed an ultimatum: Either Paul transports millions in cocaine to a location in the US within l8 hours, or his wife and daughter will be killed. The decision seems obvious--yet the outcome will be anything but."@en

  • ""It was a small girl chasing a pink balloon that had given Paul and Joanna the idea; to end five years of failing to conceive, and to adopt. Which is why they are travelling to Columbia to meet their new daughter. It is meant to be a new beginning in their lives. But it is not the new beginning they were expecting. Columbia is a dangerous place, particularly for a foreigner with wife and daughter to protect. Paul would do anything for Joanna, and now he is going to have to. He's got eighteen hours to get a deadly consignment to and address in New York. He dare not to be late. He dare not dial 911. Because if the delivery doesn't arrive, he'll never see his newly created family ever again"--Pub. description."
