Perfect for listeners who appreciate a novel female protagonist, an "everywoman" confronted with an overwhelming moral dilemma, and crushing physical danger.

Luz Concepcion returns to Guatemala to murder Martin Benavides, the man who destroyed her family. Benavides, who rose from insurgent fighter to president, controls a major drug network.

Richard Clement became Luz's resettlement officer when she was evacuated to the US. He now works for the CIA, which has its own reasons for eliminating Benavides. Richard's team persuades Luz to pursue a job as nanny to Benavides' grandson, Cesar, a lonely child with an absentee playboy father.

The Guatemala contact for her mission is Evan McManus, an expat painter who pursues Luz, hoping to persuade her to model for him - and more. Luz initially spurns his advances, but her first terrifying encounter with Martin Benavides propels her into his arms.

Complicating matters, Luz conceals from all sides her clandestine contact with her surviving cousin, Antonio Torres, a guerrilla leader fighting the government propped up by the Benavides and their drug money.

Toward the Light is exactly what a thriller should be—fast-paced, tightly written, and impossible to put down. Bonnar Spring keeps the tension high from the first pages and never lets up. What really stands out is the plotting. The story unfolds with one smart twist after another, but none of them feel forced. Each turn raises the stakes and keeps the reader guessing about what’s really going on. Bonnar Spring understands how to build suspense. The pacing is sharp, the characters feel real, and the narrative moves with the kind of momentum that makes you want to read “just one more chapter" then you realize you've read five. If you like thrillers that keep you guessing till the very last page, Toward the Light delivers.

She has a plan. It's not good for the bad guys.
