Book Overview

by Alan Petersen (Author)

CIA Agent Pete Maddox is thrust into a high-stakes game of espionage and deception when he uncovers a terrorist training camp deep in the Amazon jungle of Venezuela. But as he races against the clock to shut down the camp, he realizes the stakes are even higher than he thought - a local government conspiracy is brewing, and the head of the secret police is a sadistic enemy with a personal vendetta.

With enemies closing in on all sides, Maddox must turn to unlikely allies to save the woman he loves: a retired MI6 agent and a powerful local crime kingpin. Can they work together to outsmart the terrorists and the corrupt government, or will it will doom them all in this thrilling showdown?
