What happens when the life you love is ripped away?
A real-life memoir from international bestselling author Linda Davies
She was a bestselling author whose thrillers are celebrated by The New York Times, The Washington Post and Vanity Fair. Strong, independent and accomplished, she lived a happy life she had worked hard to build. But on a fateful day she was thrown into a situation that could have been ripped from one of her own books.
She was on the maiden voyage of her new catamaran alongside her husband when the boat’s captain unknowingly sailed into sharply contested waters off the coast of Iran. Within minutes, a dozen heavily armed Iranian marines stormed the boat and took them prisoner. Over the next two weeks, Linda was held hostage by one of the most feared regimes in the world, separated from her 3 young children, terrified for her life, with no reason to expect anything but the worst.
In this riveting book, she tells the story of her kidnap, interrogation and imprisonment in candid and shocking detail. With clarity and black humour, Davies pulls back to layers to reveal not only the physical hardships she endured but the harrowing psychological path she took to understand who she truly was when everything has been taken away.
Praise for Linda Davies’ best-selling books:
“Page turner.” Vanity Fair
“Fast and suspenseful.” Cosmopolitan
“Fabulous characters.” The New York Times
