Synopsis:

THE HOSTAGE marks the return of Charley Castillo, an army major attached to Homeland Security who answers directly to the President. In this gripping political/military thriller, the murder of an associate in Paris sends corrupt U.N. diplomat Jean-Paul Lorimer fleeing to a plush hideout in rural Brazil. But Lorimer's foes, pursuing the money Lorimer skimmed from the U.N./Iraq food-for-oil scandal, are relentless. They kidnap Lorimer's sister, Betsy Masterson, and murder her husband, the American Deputy Ambassador to Argentina, to coerce her into revealing Lorimer's whereabouts. The President assigns Charley and his team to find Lorimer first.

Author Bio:

W. E. B. Griffin's first assignment in the U.S. Army brought him to Germany as a part of the army of occupation. Having first joined in 1946, Griffin interrupted his studies at Philips University in Germany to serve again in the Korean War from 1951 to 1953, seeing active duty as a combat information officer. He continued to work with the Army after the war as chief of the publications division in Alabama, but left this post after publishing three novels and realizing he could now make a living writing military thrillers. Also the author of a series of police procedurals, Griffin is best known for the thrillers he set during both the Vietnam and Korean wars. Having had direct experience with his subject, Griffin injects all his work with a degree of detail and authenticity his readers have come to expect.
