या ई-पुस्तकाविषयी

Dr. Dooley McSweeny and his wife, Claudia, 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 betrayal and deceit.

Barbara D'Amato was the 1999-2000 president of Mystery Writers of America. D'Amato is also a past president of Sisters in Crime International. She writes a mystery series starring Chicago freelance investigative reporter Cat Marsala, a series starring Chicago patrol cops Suze Figueroa and Norm Bennis, and standalone novels. D'Amato is a playwright, novelist, and crime researcher. Her research on the Dr. John Branion murder case formed the basis for a segment on Unsolved Mysteries, and she appeared on the program. Her musical comedy The Magic Man and the children's musical The Magic of Young Houdini, written with husband Anthony D'Amato, played in Chicago and London. Their Prohibition-era musical comedy RSVP Broadway, which played in Chicago in 1980, was named an "event of particular interest" by Chicago magazine. A native of Michigan, she has been a resident of Chicago for many years. D'Amato has been a columnist for the Sisters in Crime newsletter and Mystery Scene magazine. She has worked as an assistant surgical orderly, carpenter for stage magic illusions, assistant tiger handler, stage manager, researcher for attorneys in criminal cases, and she occasionally teaches mystery writing to Chicago police officers.

Praise for Barbara D'Amato "Marvelously grisly... A vivid supporting cast, sprightly yet controlled wit and some fine cooking advice...another delightful mystery from the ever-reliable author." —Publishers Weekly (Hard Evidence) "A witty, snappy narrator." —Washington Post (Hard Evidence) “A clever solution to wrap up the driest and wittiest food mystery of the season." —Kirkus Reviews (Hard Evidence) “[The] wittiest food mystery of the season.” —Kirkus Reviews (Hard Evidence) "Barbara D'Amato appears to be just hitting her stride—a vigorous, stylish stride that's attracting widespread attention and admiration." —The Drood Review of Mystery (Hard Case) "D'Amato's evocation of the trauma center, its desperate patients and harried personnel, often heroic and always human, is by itself worth the price of admission." —San Diego Union-Tribune (Hard Case) "Producers of TV's Chicago Hope and ER could do worse than buy—never steal!—an idea or two from Hard Case." —Chicago Tribune (Hard Case) "One-ups Ellery Queen’s excellent The Dutch Shoe Mystery." —Chicago Sun-Times (Hard Case) "Unexpected twists, a devious plot, and action aplenty, plus Cat's usual sardonic but intelligent approach to crime solving, make this one another hit in a popular series." —Booklist (Hard Bargain) "With its distinctly Chicago atmosphere this tale, the seventh in D'Amato's series, is edgy, surprising and spiced with rich characterizations." —Publishers Weekly (Hard Bargain) "A compelling picture of street life in a very recognizable Chicago." —Chicago Tribune (Hard Bargain) "Cat's seventh features enough problems for a month of Mondays—but D'Amato's expert dovetailing and eye for human drama make it a lot more exciting." —Kirkus Reviews (Hard Bargain) "D'Amato's novel is her best and most ambitious." —Chicago Sun-Times (Hard Christmas)
