Donovan Nash is fly fishing in Montana where he is recuperating from his last mission when a helicopter touches down on his property. Suspicious of the helo's sudden appearance, Donovan has his Sig Sauer at the ready. But these men are here to take him back to his home outside Washington, DC where his estranged wife Lauren and William VanGelder, a father figure to Donovan, are waiting for him. Donovan learns that William's niece Stephanie, who is a photo-journalist, has been kidnapped in Guatemala. William has called off the FBI from investigating and wants Donovan and his Eco-Watch crew to find her.

With no more than the location near a volcano where Stephanie was kidnapped, Donovan, William and the Eco- Watch team all converge upon Guatemala City. Meanwhile, Lauren and a former FBI agent work another angle from the states. Can they rescue Stephanie before the volcano erupts or the bad guys kill her? Could this kidnapping be related to one that occurred twenty-two years ago that changed the course of Donovan's life?

Buckle your seat belt and hang on tight for another thrilling adventure from Philip Donlay. The action moves at break-neck speed as a plan is developed and executed. Donovan Nash is a strong character who often gets into very sticky situations because of his impatience and impulsive actions. His supporting characters try their best to balance his behavior, but their efforts are usually in vain.
