Most of us come into this world with an inborn need for
religion, a higher power to believe in. However, when fear and misunderstanding
are the driving forces behind that desire, the result is rarely a good thing.
Eight years ago, Laura Bradford mysteriously disappeared off
campus, causing quite a disturbance in the lives of Kenny Elliot and Gerald
Reynolds, a journalism student with a fascination for Mesoamerican artifacts.
When Gerald calls unexpectedly to tell Elliot he’s recently seen Laura then
sets up a meeting only to be a no-show, Elliot tracks him down to get some
answers. Instead he finds his old friend murdered in a ritualistic fashion.
Elliot takes a leave of absence from his job as a Tulsa
police detective and launches an unofficial investigation, which leads him into
the world of an Aztec deity with an appetite for blood.

CIA Officer Patrick Killion is on a secret mission to hunt down the ruthless female assassin hired to kill the Vice President of the United States. The trail leads him to the Colombian rainforest and an earnest biologist, Audrey Lockhart, whose work on poison dart frogs gives her access to one of the deadliest substances on earth—the same substance used to murder the VP. When Audrey is attacked by the local drug cartel, Killion steps in and hustles her out of harm’s way, determined to find out what she knows. His interrogation skills falter somewhere between saving her life and nursing her back to health as he realizes she’s innocent, and he ends up falling for her. Audrey has a hard time overlooking the fact that Killion kidnapped her, but if she wants to get her life back and track down the bad guys, she has to trust him. Then someone changes the rules of their cat and mouse game and now they’re the ones being hunted—by a cold-blooded killer who is much closer than they think.
