What if the son you thought dead for 22 years was secretly alive?
What if you found out your wife had known and kept it from you?

In a hospital in Guatemala City, a newborn baby is abducted, leaving his parents, SCOTT and ELEANOR DYCE, devastated. Twenty-two years later, Scott has given up on finding his son. Eleanor has not.
Grief divides the couple – and secrets. Unbeknownst to his wife, Scott has become an industrial spy, working in Mexico for a man he knows only as MR. REYNOLDS. And following a tipoff from Reynolds’ guy, JASON, Scott discovers emails between Eleanor and a drug cartel. Their son is alive, and Eleanor has been negotiating secretly to meet him.
But before Scott can confront his wife, she disappears.
If you love fast-paced, psychological thrillers, you will love Blood Ties Us, the first book in the Blood Ties Trilogy.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A crime and suspense thriller writer, M C Rowley takes inspiration from his adopted home of Mexico to write fast-paced and action based stories.

His "The Blood Ties Trilogy" is a saga based on an abduction that took place in 1992 in Guatemala. There is a prequel novella available called Case Files, and the first book, Blood Ties US came out in February 2017. Book 2, Blood Runs in 2018 and book 3, Blood for Blood, will be released in July, 2019.

An avid reader, Michael found it hard to get through books when his two children were born, until he discovered thriller e-books. He discovered the worlds of Jack Reacher, Harlan Coben and Joseph Finder and was hooked. He now believes thrillers are the ultimate in story-telling.

He lives in Central Mexico where he spends his time running his own business and enjoying the local brews when time permits. He was born in London and visits England whenever he gets the chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced psychological thriller
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017

An Abduction is the first book in The Son Of No One Trilogy . This is a fast paced psychological thriller that will have you page turning. Quite a tale that will have you on an emotional roller coaster. Full of blackmail, corruption, corporate espionage, political intrigue, kidnappings, spying and criminal cartels. Lots of suspense as Scott tries to rescue his abducted son and protect his wife. A great read.

This book was well written. There was a little punctuation or spelling errors,to me. I think he comes from a different country than I do, so I looked over it. I never ‘had it figured out’ ahead of time. I’m looking forward to the next episode.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Complicated Pieces
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
This oddly titled book confused me at times.
There's lots going on, and one is rooting for the hero,
but plot complexities got me bogged down, and the
clever premise became implausible for me.

For the Kindle text-to-speech, which I used mostly,
it was irritating that somehow contractions and
possessives often had the 't and 's spaced away
from the primary word, so "the man's" was read as
"the man s." Oh, well.

I don't plan to read the sequels.

This book was loaded with grammatical errors. It was so bad it distracted from the story. Please get an editor and clean it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars MY SON...BE BACK?
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017
Verified Purchase
This author serves the readers in his 1st book a little of everything...corporate espionage, corruption, blackmailing, abduction, etc...

I had some isdues with the translation and the many thing juggling at once, but not a total dissapointment.

The main character had so many issues at once..could he seen his...son again? How to twirl everything and don't die in the process? Who's who?

There're so many roads in the book to read and search, also a thriller with many bends and twists. A good work from M.C. Rowly on his 1st book.

Hard to follow, never knowing who to believe and realizing the main character is not the “ hero” . Too many Spanish words. Was too easy to just put down. End was just as confusing.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like Lee Childs or I am Pilgrim
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2017
Verified Purchase
There is something quite refreshing about this book. A simple thriller told very well. It is an impressive, confident debut. The story is told from the perspective of Scott, a corporate spy who had his child abducted, who is a believable everyman caught up in the Mexican underworld. If you like Lee Childs or I am Pilgrim, you should enjoy this. I am pretty sure the villain is based on Jules right? He he.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshingly Realistic Thriller
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 21, 2017
Verified Purchase
A very refreshing thriller in an often predictable and repetitive genre. The story flows superbly and the characters are both intensely strong and completely believable. The scenarios created here are dark and gripping, all set in the backdrop of wild Mexico which the author manages to describe with incredible ease. A very powerful read and cannot wait for part 2.
