In Amsterdam in the 70s, Gina has turned eighteen and is ready for a big adventure. She has left the group home where her mother had placed her, found a room, worked hard and saved money to realize her dream of travel on the Hippie Trail to India. With her boyfriend, Ide, she boards the Magic Bus to Goa, where she hopes to find warmer weather, enlightenment and great weed.The Magic Bus takes them through Afghanistan, where they overnight in budget hostels and with an Afghani family of artists and thieves. From there they travel through the Khyber Pass to Pakistan.When Ide announces all his money has been stolen, Gina accepts a job in Peshawar as an international business hostess for a handsome, charismatic businessman, Charles Sobhraj.Sobhraj promises to take her Goa, but what follows is more frightening than Gina has ever imagined. The result is murder, entrapment, seduction, betrayal and imprisonment in Pakistan as Gina makes desperate attempts to escape from Sobhraj- the man she discovers is the notorious South Asia serial Bikini Killer.Roads & Redemption is a harrowing story of a young woman searching for love and adventure...in all the wrong places.Author and psychotherapist Gina Nunez is the author of Bearer of Family SECRETS & SUSPICIONS, her first memoir about growing up in a highly dysfunctional family in Amsterdam during the vibrant sixties and seventies.
