The Europeans who first came to South America sought gold; those who come now seek oil. This is the story of one such quest and its outcome, narrated by Michael Holmes, the Canadian Mounted Police sergeant who figured in the author's first book "The Killings". It is a story of greed, violence, pride and courage, as the tale unfolds through the high Andes in Ecuador, Colombia and Peru. The years the author spent in the region lend credence to this fast paced, often amusing, tightly spun mystery with its colourful caste of characters.
