He is a Washington, DC, power broker, and she is a physician with a thriving practice. But behind the gilded façade, their marriage is a shambles, and their teenage son, Quentin, is self-destructing. In desperation, Daniel dusts off a long-delayed dream--a sailing trip around the world. Little does he know, the voyage he hopes will save them may destroy them instead.</p><p>Half a world away on the lawless coast of Somalia, Ismail Adan Ibrahim is living a life of crime in violation of everything he was raised to believe--except for the love and loyalty driving him to hijack ships for ransom and plot the rescue of his sister, Yasmin, from the man who murdered their father. There is nothing he will not do to save her, even if it means taking innocent lives.</p><p>Paul Derrick is the FBI's top hostage negotiator. His twin sister, Megan, is a celebrated defense attorney. They have reached the summit of their careers by savvy, grit, and a secret determination to escape the memory of the day their family died. When Paul is dispatched to handle a hostage crisis at sea, he has no idea how far it will take him and Megan into the past--or the chance it will give them to redeem the future.</p><p>Across continents and oceans, through storms and civil wars, the paths of these individuals converge in a single, explosive moment. It is a moment that will test them and break them, but it will also leave behind an unexpected glimmer of hope--that out of the ashes of tragedy and misfortune, the seeds of justice and reconciliation can grow.</p><p>Praise for <em>Tears of Dark Water: </em></p><p>"Beautifully written, <em>The Tears of Dark Water </em>spins an intricate tale involving hostage taking on the high seas. This novel has love, romance, guilt, and suspense all in one story. Corban Addison is a truly gifted storyteller, and <em>The Tears of Dark Water </em>will stay with you long after you've read the last page." - Lis Wiehl, <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author</p><ul><li>Stand-alone novel</li><li>Includes discussion questions for book clubs and author's note</li><li>Also by Corban Addison: <em>Harvest of Thorns</em></li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'Early in this timely and harrowing thriller from Addison (The Garden of Burning Sand), lawyer Daniel Parker and his troubled piano-playing teenage son, Quentin, are sailing their way toward a better relationship when pirates board their boat in the Indian Ocean. Very little is what it seems, thanks to double crosses, agency jurisdictional disputes, and passages describing the blood-soaked history of Somalia. Fortunately, the soul-healing power of music lightens the story.'--Publisher's Weekly<br><br>4 1/2 stars. 'An exquisitely worded, thoughtful novel about the meaning of family, commitment and love. Motives are unclear throughout; it's difficult to tell who is good and who is bad, and often there's a mixture of both, just like real life. Definitely a book to be savored.'--Romantic Times<br>
