Kokopelli Harvest

By Matthew E. Marine

The rainforests of Central America: Decades of research by pharmaceutical companies result in a drug capable of preventing many of the world's deadliest diseases. What if it fell into the wrong hands? Southern Arizona desert: Mexican illegal immigrants are disappearing - hundreds vanishing without a trace. When US Immigration Agent Jason Holt rescues a group of terrified immigrants from a ruthless human trafficker, he is unknowingly thrust into a chilling plot of biological terrorism. His only lead is Maria Escobar, a beautiful Mexican government agent conducting her own covert investigation. As decaying bodies begin to accumulate in the blistering Arizona desert, Holt and Maria find themselves in a race to prevent a madman from fulfilling his apocalyptic vision. If they fail, it means humanity's extinction. Acclaim for Kokopelli Harvest: "Matt Marine's Kokopelli Harvest is ripped straight from the headlines, touching upon issues of illegal immigration and human trafficking. But at its heart, this debut is a taut and hell-bent adventure story. A blend of Michael Crichton's scientific terror and Tom Clancy's political intrigue, Matt Marine pulls off a thriller for the new age " - James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of Black Order "Matt Marine delivers another pulse-pounding novel, crackling with realism. Against the true-to-life backdrop of human suffering along the U.S. border with Mexico, ICE agent Jason Holt takes on a megalomaniac with a lust for blood and power. Working with his own team and an alluring Mexican agent, Holt follows the trail of disappeared illegal immigrants to uncover a plot that will threaten American cities unless he can stop it. Marine's suspenseful storytelling, engaging characters and extensive knowledge of the southwestern frontier make this one a winner." - James C. Mitchell, Shamus Award-nominated author of Also Wounded, coming in 2015
