"Hello Matt, my name is Amal. I have kidnapped your sister and your friend."
Becca is an international aid worker, living in Egypt and determined to rescue trafficked women. Meanwhile, her brother, Matt, works to rescue big names from impending scandals at a large PR firm in Portland and does anything to distract himself from past hurt and pain. When one of his clients lands the company in hot water, in an attempt to cover a story that could ruin them all, Matt sends his loyal friend Kate to North Africa to investigate, with Becca as her tour guide. What was an inconvenient detour becomes an international kidnapping incident, led by Amal, a burdened and empathetic man searching for his own purpose.
What follows is the harrowing and suspenseful story of two women, who were strangers not two days before, attempting to survive, their kidnapper’s wavering determination to complete his job, and a brother back home fighting to negotiate their safe return while evading his own demons.
Will Matt succeed before time runs out? Will Becca and Kate survive together, or kill the other first? In their darkest moments, what secrets will emerge?
An intriguing, face-paced, and suspenseful story, Some Wandered in the Desert reminds us that even those with the strongest exteriors are just covering up their own inner, secret battle.
