Freelance journalist Casey Washington lands an interview with Robert Gunner, elusive head of a powerful megacorporation. The interview goes sour, and Casey starts turning over stones to see what crawls out. CEOs are dying in suspicious ways. Is Gunner behind it all, or will he be the next victim?"Lots of action keeps the characters on their toes as they travel the world. The exciting conclusion in the South American jungle leaves Casey with far more than an exclusive story. Readers who enjoy a good puzzle with pieces that never quite fit will have fun with this suspenseful thriller." — Booklist
"Kennett writes with pace and clarity... If you're hungry for vivid characters...your ship has come in" — Kirkus
