Devil's Breath

Matt Bolls' well-intentioned volunteer service in Latin America turns into a nightmare of deceit, rape, murder and international intrigue. His insertion into a remote village and alien culture quickly challenges his naive notions and assumptions, indeed, his very existence. Matt desperately flees from the many who wish to see him dead, a flight immersing him into a dark world of shadowy foreign figures and events, all in dangerous, violence-plagued locations. Unexpected allies provide him and his agonizing father, a US congressman, windows of hope along the way. Diamonds, cocaine and smuggled arms are the stock in trade along Matt's underground trajectory.
