ABOUT THE BOOK
Book 3 of 3: The Zahara Trilogy
Investigative journalist Alienor Crespo never expected to write the obituary of her college friend, immigration attorney Valeria Sánchez. But as she investigates Val’s murder and the disappearance of one of her Venezuelan clients, Alienor finds herself under surveillance, stripped of her identity, and forced to experience the vulnerability of the immigrants she has long reported on.
She refuses to abandon the story. Instead, she turns to an unlikely network of allies: a Spanish notary who was once her lover, a fearless Seattle police lieutenant, immigrant families fighting to stay together, and the volunteers who doggedly document deportation flights from the edge of Boeing Field.
Meanwhile, echoes of Seattle’s wartime incarceration of Japanese Americans reverberate through the news, and Alienor’s gift of second sight draws her into the lives of her own ancestors—refugees fleeing war-torn Europe decades earlier, when strangers risked everything to protect one another.
As past and present converge, Alienor discovers that history is shaped not only by those who wield power, but by ordinary people whose hidden alliances change lives.
Hidden Allies is a novel of suspense, memory, and moral courage about the people who refuse to look away from those the world has rendered invisible.
