To celebrate their anniversary, Eve Hardaway arranged a
special vacation in the jungles of Oaxaca, Mexico. However,
her husband had others plans -- a divorce so he could live
with his new girlfriend, leaving his wife and young son
behind. Shocked with this revelation, Eve decides to take
the one-week vacation anyway and spend the time evaluating
her life.
At the rustic lodge, Eve discovers some disturbing items
left by the previous occupant of her hut. Then on a jungle
excursion, she stumbles upon a remote cabin in a clearing --
and a mysterious man who doesn't want anyone knowing he's
there. As the small group of people at the lodge soon
learns, he will do whatever it takes to protect his evil
secret. He sabotages everything he can at the lodge, while
a horrific storm deluges the jungle. In a frantic attempt
to leave and reach civilization, Eve and the others are
tested to their limits -- and beyond -- in a race to survive.
In DON'T LOOK BACK, Gregg Hurwitz ratchets up the
terror and suspense to a fever pitch in this first-rate
thriller. I found myself holding my breath then gasping for
air as Eve struggled to outwit this malevolent jungle man.
Excellent descriptive prose gives readers a feeling of
being there with Eve as she battles a raging river, runs
through treacherous terrain, flies over a gorge on a
zipline, while dealing with torrential rain, smothering
heat, unusual flora and fauna, and a truly evil man who'll
stop at nothing to see that no one survives the horrendous
ordeal.
In Don't Look Back, Eve Hardaway, newly single mother of
one, is on a trip she’s long dreamed of—a rafting and hiking
tour through the jungles and mountains of Oaxaca, in
southern Mexico. Eve wanders off the trail, to a house in
the distance with a menacing man in the yard beyond it,
throwing machetes at a human-shaped target. Disturbed by the
sight, Eve moves quickly and quietly back to her group,
taking care to avoid being seen. As she creeps along, she
finds a broken digital camera, marked with the name Teresa
Hamilton. Later that night, in a rarely used tourist cabin,
she finds a discarded prescription bottle—also with the name
Teresa Hamilton. From the camera’s memory card, Eve
discovers Teresa Hamilton took a photo of that same menacing
looking man in the woods. Teresa Hamilton has since
disappeared.
Now the man in the woods is after whoever was snooping
around his house. With a violent past and deadly mission, he
will do anything to avoid being discovered. A major storm
wipes out the roads and all communication with the outside
world. Now the tour group is trapped in the jungle with a
dangerous predator with a secret to protect. With her only
resource her determination to live, Eve must fight a
dangerous foe and survive against incredible odds—if she's
to make it back home alive.
