“An engaging story deftly written from beginning to end.” — Midwest Book Review
Success has come easily to Randall DesVergers, a wealthy Los Angeles lawyer. He is riding high on a free-running global economy that has reordered the world, and cares little for the changes that are sweeping away the old social order where nations are losing control over their own destinies. He is preoccupied with expensive cars, other men’s women, and mingling with the moneyed and successful. At the same time, another man grew up on the streets of Rio, one of the 40 million homeless children in South America, aching for the big money. With inhuman strength, he had just barely clawed his way out of the crushing poverty around him, but it put him under the thumb of a dangerous patriarch.
An unexpected act of vengeance lands Randall DesVergers in the middle of the booming Brazilian gold rush, 250 miles down the Rio Maderia tributary of the Amazon, in a floating gold town named Boca de Lobo — The Wolf’s Mouth. Cut off from civilization, he is suddenly confronted with the brutal nature of law and his own moral failures deep in the Brazilian rainforest.
Both men are reaching for the impossible, something that has always eluded them. Pursued by enemies in the booming gold fields of the Amazon, they will find it — if someone doesn’t find them first.
