Mystery
Award-winning author Jeff Soloway debuts an entertaining
new mystery series featuring a globe-trotting, caper-
solving travel writer with a witty voice and a penchant for
landing in sticky situations. At a posh South American resort tucked into the lush
jungles of the Andes, an American journalist has gone
missing, leaving the hotel's PR agent, Pilar Rojas, with an
international incident on her hands. Which is why she
offers her ex-lover, travel writer Jacob Smalls, an all-
expenses-paid trip to the resort in exchange for a puff
piece extolling its virtues – and some behind-the-scenes
digging into the disappearance. Intrigued by the prospect
of winning Pilar back – and eager, as always, for freebies
– Jacob hops the first flight to La Paz, Bolivia. Although he hasn't seen Pilar in years, Jacob finds her
just as intoxicating as he did when they were together. But
from the moment he hits the city's cobbled streets, Jacob
attracts all the wrong kinds of attention. Political
flunkies and goons of all stripes try to scare him off the
trail, while the missing woman's not-quite boyfriend
insists on shadowing Jacob's every move. And amid ancient
Incan hillside terraces, a world-class hotel conceals a
secret that may kill.
