Paul and Joanna want to adopt a baby, their lawyer tells them to get one from China, Korea, or Hungary, but that could take years, and the adoption wait is only two months in Columbia. When Paul and Joanna arrive in Columbia they’re met by their driver, Pablo, the man who will escort them around the country during their stay, and most importantly take them to the orphanage to get their baby. When they arrive at the orphanage they meet their daughter for the first time, and quickly fall in love with the little girl; they name her Joelle. Upon the couple’s return to their hotel they meet Galina, the nurse who will help them adjust to taking care of their new daughter, until they leave Columbia.
One night though, Joanna notices something different about their new daughter, Joelle’s birthmark was missing, and the only person that's been left alone with the baby besides Joanna and Paul is Galina. Quickly, Joanna and Paul confront Galina about their suspicions, only to be drugged, and kidnapped. These kidnappers don’t want Paul and Joanna’s money, though, they want Paul to smuggle cocaine out of the country in exchange for the lives of his wife and daughter. Now Paul has to decide what he’s going to do. Is he going to refuse and get all three of them killed, go to the police, or do what his kidnappers ask of him?
Detour by James Siegel is a story I would recommend to anyone, it’s full of mystery, betrayal, deception, and bone-chilling suspense.
