Description:Jesse McDermitt discovers an environmental nightmare of deception
and greed taking place in Central America. A cartel is branching into
smuggling things other than drugs. And they’re doing it quite
effectively.
The Honduran rain forests and its
inhabitants are at peril. The cartel needs hidden places to grow coca,
used in the manufacture of cocaine. The exotic and endangered hardwood
trees are cut and sold on the black market, along with any creature
found dwelling deep in the humid jungle.
Environmental
activists in the area who try to intercede are swiftly dealt with in
the manner the cartel deals with anyone who stands between them and the
almighty dollar—with a sharp machete.
Having so many moving parts and numerous smuggling routes, can Jesse and the crew of Ambrosia,
on a dive vacation in the Bay Islands of Honduras, be able to make a
difference? Or will the beautiful reef surrounding the island of Utila
be Ambrosia’s grave?
