Death on Illampu

By John Lappin

Marc Lipatti operates a lucrative gold mine in the lush and beautiful Bolivian jungle, surrounded by orchids and exotic birds along the Beni River. But this tropical paradise is also home to the jaguar, the bushmaster, the fer-de-lance, and perhaps the most lethal predator of all: men who lust for wealth and power. After one of Marcs Indian workers is killed by a poisonous snake, he hires a Peruvian doctor to oversee his clinic. The doctors American wife, Val, is beautiful but unhappy in her marriage, and a romantic relationship soon develops between her and Marc. Things get even more complicated when politicians and the secret police in La Paz conspire to take over Marcs extremely profitable mining operationsand Marc and Vals lives are threatened by forces as deadly as the jaguar and the fer-de-lance.
