The Wisdom of Solomon

Maritza Van Lyle is a broken, alcoholic housewife mired in a bad marriage. Soured on living by her husband's infidelity and a personal tragedy, the only light in her life is Alexandra, her preteen daughter. When Maritza is taken hostage by a sinister man with a mysterious agenda, she fights to keep her sanity and to stay alive while her captor forces her to admit intimate secrets that should stay buried.

Torn between the bitterness and frustration at her existence, Maritza is determined not to be a docile prisoner. As the man's lethal games, caustic taunts, and dangerous threats grow more invasive and ruthless as the hours go by, she rebels, adapts, and formulates a desperate plan to escape her tormentor. The Wisdom of Solomon is not your usual hostage drama. It's a cat and mouse game where deceptions, revelations, and role reversals will take your breath away – and keep you turning the pages – all the way to a chilling and surprising denouement.
