IrishCentral’s June Book of the Month: Breaking the Dance
Author: Clare O'Donohue
Publisher: Midnight Ink
Genre: Fiction
Synopsis: Tango and torment await married college professors on an unwanted junket to Argentina.
Husband and wife college professors Hollis and Finn Larsson think their days are as accidental spies are behind them. But, just weeks into a new school year, a mysterious envelope arrives containing two passports. The photos are of Hollis and Finn but the names are Janet and Tim McCabe.
Within hours, the couple is forced into a private plane headed to Argentina, with an Interpol mission to find Irish art thief Declan Murphy and a haphazard plan to get home with their lives, and marriage, intact.
As clues take them from the mountainous north through the tango halls of Buenos Aires to the southernmost tip of Tierra del Fuego, they rush to find Declan and escape from the clutches of "the man who doesn't exist."
