That time you stumbled onto a mass grave and mercenaries bolted from the jungle to hunt you down.

Veteran bodyguard Jacob Stearne aims to spend quality time with his heiress-boss during a charitable mission to Borneo. Building a school seems simple enough until the locals give chase. She won’t say what she did to provoke them, but providing her protection just flipped from being a mini-vacation to a death sentence.

Jacob Stearne is Jack Reacher … without the sanity — Paul Westmoreland

Athlete Pia Sabel intended to put her fortune to use helping educate isolated children. When corrupt officials force her to flee, she remains haunted by the sight of dead and dying villagers. Without evidence of murder, international authorities dismiss her as simply rich and spoiled. Her obsession even grates on the Sabel Security team. Then one of their own contracts a highly contagious disease.

A fine thriller with intriguing locations, intricate plot twists and a complex heroine — Kirkus Reviews 

Her friend is near death. A mole in her ranks tries to destroy her. Pia turns to Jacob and his questionable sanity to help bring the guilty to justice. When their primary suspects turn up dead, she must recalculate the evidence. Can Jacob and Pia expose the conspiracy before a tyrant unleashes an apocalyptic virus?
