But he soon begins to mistrust the man he once revered. Latham's research uncovers long-hidden connections between Callahan and the CIA; and, just as worryingly, the dysfunctional relationship between the powerful diplomat and his wife Aleja, a former Miss Cuba, 23 years his junior, is impossible to ignore. An orphan, adopted as a child, Aleja consoles herself with dreams of finding her birth family. Now, she makes a desperate plea for Latham's help in tracing her origins. He agrees to travel to Havana on her behalf, unaware that his search for answers will unlock a Pandora's box of politically sensitive secrets - and raise a ghost from his own past. Before long, Latham is on the run for his life. Meanwhile, in Mexico City, Luis Escobedo prepares to travel to America. A name in the news has triggered a memory - and with it a thirst for revenge. What did Latham discover at the Cuban orphanage? Why is a foreign intelligence service intent on keeping it a secret? Who is Luis Escobedo? And is any of this related to events in Nicaragua decades ago? In this edge-of-your-seat political thriller, Matt Latham finds himself navigating a labyrinth of tragic events. Ultimately, he must confront the morality of his own choices and ask himself the question: are some secrets best left buried?","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48498632327387,"sku":"9781760689315-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3e568b8b-7938-41c9-a458-ebb6bfa1dca8_e9313bcd-fe41-4aa0-b677-bd42c5db6de7.jpg?v=1774089438","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781760689315-secondhand-best-left-buried","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
