The Blood We Share: The Unforgettable Historical Novel of a Blazing Romance, a Dark Crime, and the Fiery Aftermath
THE BLOOD WE SHARE... 1979. Iran is in the midst of a violent revolution. A mob invades the American embassy in Tehran. Harry “Fitz” Fitzgerald, a CIA agent embedded at the embassy, tries to hold them off, but he and dozens of other Americans are taken hostage. They will not be freed until 1981. Fitz returns from Iran a silent and broken man, never speaking of what he endured.
Her father’s long, cruel ordeal will cast a dark shadow over little Kerry, back home in America. It is a trauma she can never get over, blighting her youth, her marriages, her self-worth.
Decades later, she learns that her late father’s journal is still hidden somewhere in Iran. Finding it - and learning what really happened to him - becomes an obsessive quest.
Kerry flies from America to Iran, defying the tense political stand-off between the countries. But her search leads her into discoveries she never dreamed of - and into a spider’s web of deceit, long-hidden secrets and ultimately, deadly danger.
Can Kerry set right the crimes that were committed decades ago? Or is she going to follow her father’s fate in the notorious dungeons of Tehran?
