THE HOSTAGE marks the return of Charley Castillo, an army major attached to Homeland Security who answers directly to the President. In this gripping political/military thriller, the murder of an associate in Paris sends corrupt U.N. diplomat Jean-Paul Lorimer fleeing to a plush hideout in rural Brazil. But Lorimer's foes, pursuing the money Lorimer skimmed from the U.N.raq food-for-oil scandal, are relentless. They kidnap Lorimer's sister, Betsy Masterson, and murder her husband, the American Deputy Ambassador to Argentina, to coerce her into revealing Lorimer's whereabouts. The President assigns Charley and his team to find Lorimer first.
