Cries of the Lost

Whenmarket researcher Arthur Cathcart emerged from a coma and set out to track downwhoever murdered his wife, the results were far from preordained. Wounded andalone, grief stricken and hiding off the grid, he thought the only mystery waswho killed Florencia—and why. But thequest for justice uncovers a host of fresh mysteries, beginning with anelaborate fraud and embezzlement scheme, complete with dummy corporations andoffshore numbered accounts.

Inplace of “who killed Florencia?” he was forced to ask “who was Florencia?”There was nothing about their lives together that answered this or any of athousand questions she left behind. All he really knew was that she came fromChile, had a knack for figures, and owned her own insurance agency.

SoArthur takes off again to do what he does best: find out stuff. Whatfollows is a chase around the world, from the Caribbean to the Mediterraneanand remote points north and south. Armed with a portfolio offalse identities, hard-learned tradecraft, and the continued cloak ofanonymity, Cathcart, now with Natsumi Fitzgerald at his side, plunges into the world of international terrorism andgovernment intrigue, where the currency is betrayal and the rewards arecalculated in blood and revenge.
