A fast-paced thriller of adventure, murder and romance set in the
violent and treacherous, yet exotic world of the Amazon.
Revenge is a double-edged, all-consuming sword, though it is not until he
is too deeply immersed that Nicholas Ryder realizes the cost cannot be
justified. New to South America, Caroline James, a feature journalist,
quickly realizes “you could lose New York” in the enveloping arms of
the Amazon; but when trouble arrives her secure world is obliterated, the
oppressive heat and smell of fear reducing the jungle canopy to a
claustrophobic web from which there is no escape. Acting as a guide for
University Researchers, Nick tracks down the River Bandits responsible for
the death of his brother and his family; but with the added complication
of his growing feelings towards Caroline, it is not long before the roles
of cat and mouse are reversed and he and the others must run for their
lives. A straightforward investigation into the deaths soon escalates and
impinges on the world of politics and power, where uncivilized savagery
bubbles just beneath the thin veneer of refinement and respectability.
