Anita Tavares just arrived at the Santo Domingo airport in the
Dominican Republic, and she is there on crucial business. Tavares
is the powerful and highly visible face of a worldwide HIV/AIDS
donor foundation. She's in charge of funding in an effort to fight
the disease, and she'll stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Somebody has other plans for Tavares, however. Just after
landing at the airport, she is shot and killed. Her attacker not
only commits murder; he also escapes with two bags belonging to his
victim. Officials are left with many questions: Who murdered this
powerful woman? Was the crime really about her, or was it about the
contents of her luggage?
So begins a whirlwind adventure into the depths of Caribbean
politics and crooked pharmaceutical sales. Men of power now battle
the powerless for information that only a dead woman knew. Greed
and corruption rule the streets as the AIDS epidemic continues to
spread, and criminals take control of secrets once held by Tavares.
But is there a way to stop those who would do harm in a place where
no rule is sacred?
