About this ebook
When the FBI can' t help, an unassuming banker takes matters into his own hands to bring his son home
Wade, a respected banker in La Jolla, CA, and his estranged wife, Fiona, make the unbearable decision to send their teenage son, Myles, away to an expensive treatment center after a streak of harmful behavior. After a year of treatment, Myles comes home, seemingly rehabilitated. But soon, he sneaks off to Tijuana to buy drugs— and is kidnapped.
When the ransom call comes, Fiona is frantic and accepts help from Andre, the Quebecois whose charity Fiona runs. Wade is wary of Andre' s reputation and the bank he owns, but seeing no other way to secure a kidnap negotiator or the ransom, he swallows his doubts to get his son home.
In order to get the ransom money, Wade makes a deal with Andre— he' ll work for Andre' s bank in exchange for the cash. But as Wade races to rescue Myles before his kidnappers lose their patience, he realizes he' s wrapped up in more crime than just a kidnapping— he' s now indebted to a cartel.
Perfect for fans of Harlan Coben and Lisa Scottoline

Saving Myles - My first read by this author and I enjoyed it immensely. Well written with drama filled story lines, a variety of characters and a gamut of emotions and sacrifices. My favorite character was Andre and least favorite was Miles, both for their actions through out the story. There is plenty of misdirection and suspense along with a pace that keeps the pages turning to the end. For readers who enjoy Ludlum, Follette, Grisham and De Milles, Vonderau will entertain them, too.

Saving Myles is the story of a teenager who gets manipulated and makes a mistake that will shatter his life and change those of his parents forever. It involves the Mexican cartels, kidnapping, the FBI, and the DEA, has a lot of action, and in spite of crimes, it leaves an open possibility of a future for Myles' family. I thank Mr. Vonderau, his publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC.
