- Synopsis
- Surgical pathologist Dooley McSweeny and his wife dearly love the son they adopted from Russia four years ago. But when medical tests indicate that their little boy could not possibly have come from Russia, the couple is plunged into the dark, complex, and emotionally fraught world of international adoption. Who is their son? Where did he come from? How did he come to them? The answers to these questions threaten to destroy their marriage, their happiness--and their lives--as they explode a powder keg of political intrigue. Adopting a baby from a foreign country is, at best fraught with emotional turmoil, expense, obstacles and years of delays so Dooley and Claudia feel especially blessed when they go to Russia and return with a baby boy with their Irish coloring: red hair, pale skin and green eyes. When the child, Teddy, is four, a difficult to diagnose illness causes Dooley, a doctor to investigate his son's biochemistry in minute detail. Finding an anomaly he begins a secret international quest to locate the child's birth parents and to learn if the adoption agency is involved in criminal activities. This novel reveals the dreadful plight of countless orphaned infants and children and the difficult road traveled by people desperate to adopt them. All nine of the Kat Marsala mysteries by Barbara D'amato are in Bookshare's library as well as more stand alone novels and books in the Figuero and Bennis series. Each of her books are engaging mysteries and each overflows with information on a selected topic like the grocery store industry, Christmas Tree farming and The hierarchy of power in the police force.
