Nick Caine and Ishi Cuyamel return to the United States with heavy hearts following a series of unexpected surprises in Scotland… surprises that have left them without Marie Da Vinci while placing the pair in the coerced employment of a secretive United States government agency….

But rather than face the threat of extended jail time for their role in looting precious artifacts from throughout the world, Nick and Ishi agree to give up their livelihoods as ‘creative archaeologists’. If only working for ‘Project Golden Eye’ was that simple.

Nick and Ishi’s first assignment should be one that plays to their strengths and familiarity, since it involves yet another lost ‘city of gold’. However, when a noted archaeologist and his family disappear amid rumors of headhunters on the loose in the Amazon jungles of Ecuador, Nick and Ishi soon find themselves facing a deadly menace once again.

Teemed up with a beautiful and beguiling translator named Mayta Navarro, whose ancestors were once part of the feared Javaro tribe, the trio soon learns that a renegade shaman named Shuratu is likely responsible for the archaeologist’s disappearance. Facing the same potential destiny of losing their heads, Nick’s and Ishi’s fate depends on whether they can survive numerous perils lurking in the upper Amazon Basin, or instead become the next victims in the River of the Damned….

Acclaim for the novels of Aiden James:

"Aiden James has a keen eye for detail and an uncanny knack for scaring the hell out of me. We are watching a master at work. "The Raven Mocker" is a nearly perfect thriller. Ghost stories don't get any better than this."
--J.R. Rain, Bestselling author of the "Vampire for Hire" series

"As with the previous titles I have read by this author, I found the author's writing style to be silky smooth and the main plot line to be extremely creative. The fertile imagination of Aiden James definitely knows what today's readers want to see in their stories."
--Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews for "The Vampires' Last Lover"
