Mateus Cordozo has just returned to his hometown of Afife, Portugal, seeking a brief interlude to confront his midlife crisis and reflect on what he perceives as his failures as a man, far removed from his usual life as a bioengineer in Sweden. With two bottles of wine, cheese, and freshly baked bread in hand, he finds a quiet spot on a windy beach, hoping for uninterrupted soul-searching. However, his solitude is disrupted when a stunning woman, seemingly too perfect, approaches and asks to join him. Their conversation quickly derails when she reveals her true intentions for seeking him out, leading Mateus to dismiss her claims as utterly absurd and cutting the discussion short. Despite his efforts to move past this strange encounter, he finds himself surrounded by chatter from people and the media, forcing him to confront the stranger's claims and his inner demons which are fighting back. As he stands at a critical juncture in his life, he must decide whether to take a leap of faith, to trust the stranger, or retreat back into his comfort zone. Time is running out, and he must act before it's too late and the crisis becomes a global one.
... a high concept thriller that is comparable with the best of Dan Brown or Jack Higgins.
Novelist, David Luddington This is a fast paced read but the plot contains complex ideas which adds a depth to the book. Full of action and real life scenarios this is one of those books you can spend hours reading without realizing where the time has gone. There are plenty of surprises and twists.

The Portugal News The story races along with pace of a Tom Clancy thriller but the depth of the plot is rich in complexities philosophical ideas. Highly recommended for readers who like fast paced thrillers but with an ingenious twist.
