Corporate spy Finn Teller is looking forward to some hard-earned R&R in Cartagena, Colombia, with her boyfriend. But a former client has a new job for her: escorting a noted biologist into the rain forest to look for a rare plant that has remarkable curative properties. A simple in-and-out operation, according to Finn’s boss.

But the rain forest is in Guevaria, a newly independent nation controlled by a Marxist government hostile to Americans, and a place where kidnapping is one of the most lucrative sources of income. Cut off from communication with the rest of the world, Finn soon learns the most dangerous threats aren’t wildlife or weather.

She also discovers the rain forest conceals yet another secret—one worth killing to keep. Can Finn save herself and other innocents before it is too late?
