A missing girl. A rainforest under siege. And a tracker who just became the hunted.From Dwight Holing, the bestselling author of the award-winning Nick Drake mystery series, comes a gripping, standalone eco-thriller where Nature and Noir collide.
When oil drillers invade an ancestral homeland in the Amazon, a young Indigenous girl named Blue Macaw vanishes without a trace. The stakes turn deadly when her brother is framed for the brutal murder of a corporate executive. Desperate for justice, a relentless activist convinces Jess Parks-a man with a lethal set of search-and-rescue skills-to plunge into the jungle, find Blue Macaw, and expose the real killer.
But Jess quickly learns he isn't the only one tracking her.
From the gritty asphalt of the big city to the deepest, most dangerous corners of the rainforest, Jess is forced into a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. To survive, he must outrun a ruthless pack of mercenaries, untangle a web of corporate greed, and learn the ancient secrets of an isolated tribe to win their trust.
In a world where human ambition knows no bounds, can one man deliver justice before the jungle swallows the truth forever?
