Incorporating the atmosphere of Jess Walters' Beautiful Ruins with the interesting historical backstory of Christina Baker Kline's The Orphan Coach, Deborah Lawrenson's mesmerizing book transports listeners to a sunny Portuguese town with a shadowy past - where two women, decades apart, are attracted into a dark game of real truth and lies that still haunts the moving sea marshes. Planing a trip to Faro, Portugal, journalist Joanna Millard desires to escape an unsatisfying relationship and a stalled profession. Faro can be an charming town, and the seaside views are enhanced by the company of Nathan Emberlin, a charismatic youthful man. But behind the crumbling facades of its Moorish properties, Joanna soon realizes, Faro has a seedy underbelly, its economy compromised by problem and wartime spoils. And Nathan has an ulterior purpose for seeking her company: He is determined to find the truth affecting a child's kidnapping which may have taken place on this dramatic coastline over 2 decades ago. Joanna's subsequent search leads her to Ian Rylands, an British expat who cryptically insists she will find answers in The Alliance, a book written by North american Esta Hartford. The publication recounts an American couple's experience in Portugal during World War II and their entanglements both personal and professional with the German enemies. Only Rylands insists the publication isn't fiction, so that as Joanna reads much deeper into The Alliance, she begins to think that Esta Hartford's history and Nathan Emberlin's may indeed converge in Faro - where the former not only casts a long shadow but nonetheless exerts a very present danger.
