Synopsis

Brilliant one-liners, lightning action, lots of suspense and very funny self-deprecating Madrid is fast becoming my favorite hero. "Good Housekeeping" (UK)

Journalist Nick Madrid finds himself up the proverbial creek the Amazon without a paddle when he s dispatched to South America to report on a Rock Against Drugs tour.

As if monstrous spiders, piranhas, kidnapping and tiny, spiky fish that swim up a stream of urine to lodge where a man least wants a tiny, spiky fish to lodge aren t enough, Madrid is drawn into the mystery of who is trying to kill the tour s headlining, larger-than-life, pain-in-the-posterior rock megastar Otis Barnes.

Madrid soon discovers that the murdering queue forms on the left for Mr. Barnes. The question is: Can he prevent Barnes date with death at the final concert at Machu Picchu?

"Whacky ... hilarious ... a great read" Minette Walters
On a trip down the Amazon, journalist Nick Madrid is soon paddle-less up the proverbial creek. And things don't improve when - having survived kidnap, piranhas and spiky fish that swim up a stream of urine to lodge where a man least wants a spiky fish to lodge - he joins a Rock Against Drugs Tour of the Andes. For now he has to discover who is trying to kill pain-in-the-posterior rock star Otis Barnes - or even who isn't ...
