What happens when a couple desperately wants a baby but things don''t go exactly as planned? They can always adopt, right? That overwhelming and elemental desire-to have a child- leads Tuck and Ellen Handler down a path that at first appears to be clearly marked. But the consequences they encounter quickly turn deadly. A BABY TO DIE FOR follows Tuck Handler''s unyielding determination to expose the sordid side of the adoption trade- from a ruthless Network of money-driven black market baby brokers, to underground slave auctions in the Middle East. After reading Slosberg''s gripping page-turner you will never again view the idealistic and hopeful process of adoption in quite the same light.
