When she is called to investigate a horrific crime scene in the Californian desert, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Sayona Sherman is forced into partnership with case-hardened Troy Cummings, of the FBI. A man with big heart and a loose regard for the rules. Together, they follow a fast-growing trail of murder and mayhem, and soon they are battling government thugs, murderous Hollywood socialites, and a drug-addled Peruvian head hunter, who is struggling to get in touch with his spiritual side.
Racing from the Peruvian jungles of the High Amazon, to the chi-chi boulevards of West Hollywood, Cummings and Sherman soon realize that time, and the march of history is against them. And with the threat vector rising they uncover a fiendish plot that reaches to the very highest echelons of the federal government.
