She was a woman desperate to find her daughter . . .
Jennifer Holt knows that Matt Blackburn is the best chance she has to save her young daughter from the clutches of her ex-husband, Ahmed. Upon gazing into his cool penetrating blue eyes, she is immediately drawn in by his dark brooding physique. She recognizes the confidence he so readily displays in his mercenary abilities. She knows before her is the man capable of breaking down the evil forces that are imprisoning her daughter.
Action, adventure, mystery, and intrigue will all be found in the highest degree in Marlys Rold's THE MERCENARY. From page one I was immediately drawn into the superb plot by the use of true to life characters. I can safely say, of all the books I have read in 2002, this one is by far the most exciting!
