Suspense
A tense, dangerous thriller of CIA operations in Latin America, guerrilla wars, drug flights, environmental catastrophes and genocides. Shot down over the Guatemalan jungle with a planeload of marijuana, Vietnam veteran Joe Murphy gets caught up in the country's brutal Civil War, and in an attack on a Mayan village by the Guatemalan Army and its CIA "advisors". Badly injured, he escapes on a nightmare trek through the jungle, hunted by the Army, the CIA, and death squads. He is healed by guerrilla doctor Dona Villalobos, falls in love with her and tries to save her from the War's widening horror of insanity, tragedy, and death. Based on the author's personal experience as a human rights and war journalist in Guatemala.

Re: House Of Jaguar
luck way on your side need to tell everyone alive today because of what was in your wallet ! (Ron Frampton 7:48am May 20, 2014)
Wow. Great live story. I love reading about life or death situations but would not like to actually be in one. (Pam Howell 10:23am May 20, 2014)
What an amazing story!! What an amazing cover!! You have me hooked, and I can't wait to read your book!! I don't quite have the guts that you have. I only take chances on the safe things, although I do stretch it from time to time. I suppose part of that has to do with my upbringing, even though I was quite the tomboy growing up. I'm sure I'll be able to relive your experiences, though, after reading your book, and I commend you for having the guts to live through such an amazing time, and take the chances that you did. Somebody upstairs was looking out for you, so that you could tell your story!! (Peggy Roberson 10:43am May 20, 2014)
Captivating and enthralling story. Best wishes. (Sharon Berger 11:05am May 20, 2014)
I love terror and uncertainty in a book that why I love thrillers! (Denise Austin 2:23pm May 20, 2014)
LOLOL That's a nervous laugh. Wow! What a story. (Lisa Hutson 3:27pm May 20, 2014)
Kudos to you. My husband and I bravely drove up to Breckendridge, Colorado because we won a trip there. By the time we got there, we were green around the gills and had to go back to Denver. (Susan Coster 5:35pm May 20, 2014)
You have quite a story to tell....wow! Would love to read this story. I've always tried to live life as an adventure, but you are much braver than I. Thanks for sharing. (Brenda Rumsey 7:19pm May 20, 2014)
OK and that's why I read. I will (hopefully) never experience anything this exciting. (Marcia Berbeza 11:16pm May 20, 2014)
Its always good to have an accidental backup plan. (Laura Gullickson 11:52pm May 20, 2014)
