"In El Salvador, the first victim of the torturer is trust...
Richard Marlette thought he would never see Nicole again. Their affair ended when Marlette refused to give up his life as a mercenary. Now, years later, Nicole's daughter has been kidnapped in El Salvador, and she turns to Marlette for help.
Getting the girl back would be the toughest mission of Marlette's life, not least because he is known in El Salvador. If he returns to this hotbed of violence, oppression and insurrection, he must face the terrors of his own past.
The Devil's Door is a switchback thriller of action, double cross and political chicanery, with at its core a powerful sense of humanity under pressure."
