(3) YA After an eighteen-year-old soccer star is kidnapped, South American sportswriter Paul Faustino discovers that superstition, police corruption, and black magic are all involved. Faustino's story is interwoven with sections narrated by a priest who describes his own kidnapping, centuries earlier, by slave traders in Africa. Peet has crafted a profoundly dark companion tale to Keeper, with vengeance at its core.
