In a room of a posh hotel in Punta Cana, the jewel of the
Dominican Republic, Dr. Silvia Herrera takes a stand against
ruthless, Mafia-style extortion and violence.
Moments earlier, she'd discovered another victim of the brutal
syndicate she works for. It's the third case she's encountered in
two weeks, and she knows that she must draw a line in the sand.
Just days ago, one of her acquaintances was murdered for not paying
the protection money the mob demanded. She knows that her bosses
are a cruel gang of criminals in the Caribbean, exploiting AIDS
patients. Despite the feeble protection of laws designed to stop
just this sort of abuse, the people she works for assume themselves
to be above those laws. Silvia decides to take a stand against
corruption, against violence, against the hopelessness these men
spread like a virus among the island's weakest residents. But
first, she needs to know who these crime lords are. She and two
friends embark on a wild and dangerous hunt for the criminals. It
leads her and her friends through hidden corners of Santo Domingo
and through jungles, cities, remote towns, and mysterious churches
and convents in Venezuela.
Can Silvia uncover the truth before her dangerous enemies bury
her?
