Two to tango

Nick Madrid is a journalist whose assignment takes him deep into South America to cover a Rock Against Drugs tour, and he soon finds that the Amazon is only the beginning of his troubles. Giant spiders, piranhas and kidnappers are bad enough, and then there is a tiny, spiny fish that makes its way into a man's most sensitive places. Madrid is pulled into a puzzle: someone is trying to kill Otis Barnes, the headline act, a loud and larger-than-life rock star who is difficult to work with. Madrid quickly learns that Barnes has no shortage of people who would like him dead, and he must work out who is behind the attempts.
