"The Maya know the danger where the jaguar is afraid to go!"

The woman he loved stripped Paul Brice of everything he had. Now he’s in Mexico to get his revenge. Can Gloria Gutierrez, a Latino expert on the Maya teach him a lesson about love and self-worth? Their mutual struggle to survive the maze of modern Mexican politics leads them to remote Chiapas, where they are pursued by Zapatistas, Mexican Federales, Narco cartels, Cuban Intelligence, and the CIA. Armed only with an ancient Maya secret about a place where the jaguar is afraid to go, they must find a way out of a smoking volcano and a Mexican standoff with Gloria’s husband, the dangerous oligarch Don Ramon Gutierrez.
