DELIVERANCE meets HEART OF DARKNESS for the GENERATION X reader. Imagine your job is to translate for a pair of arrogant technology whizzkids on business in South America. Imagine you are accompanying them on a jaunty boat trip up the river Amazon. Imagine that late one night some foreign bandits steal onto the boat and kill the crew. Imagine that you and your charges are kidnapped at gun point. Would you give your life for theirs in the name of survival? Crossman is faced with just this dilemma. A seemingly straightforward trek through the jungle rapidly breaks down into mayhem and, after the kidnapping, nobody knows who to trust. There are five of them - the whizzkids, their two colleagues and Crossman - buried in a deep, dark pit with the ever-present threat of torture to keep them there. But an escape route is finally found and quickly five become three, stranded in a tiny boat on the enormous Amazon and facing new threats from the surrounding wildlife. But these are as nothing compared with the often violent redrawing of allegiances between the three survivors...Sunday Times Bestselling author Andrew Pyper has written a chilling, tense follow-up to his debut novel, LOST GIRLS, which confirms his mastery of thriller writing and explores new - and terrifying - territory against the dramatic backdrop of the Amazonian jungle.

Professor David Ullman is a world authority on demonic literature. So when offered a luxury trip to Venice to consult on a 'phenomenon' he accepts, taking his daughter, Tess, with him. But in Venice, things take a sinister, terrifying turn when a man speaks in the voice of David's dead father, repeating the last words he ever spoke to his son. Then Tess disappears before his eyes. Yet as she falls into the waters of the Grand Canal, she pleads with her father: 'Find me...'

El diablo existe. Está entre nosotros.David Ullman es profesor de la universidad de Columbia en Manhattan. Se ha especializado en mitología y narrativa religiosa judeocristiana, pero el trabajo que le ha granjeado su posicion es su estudio sobre El paraiso perdido, de Milton, un canto poetico que aborda la maldad y tiene como escenario el Infierno. David esta casado y tiene una hija, Tess, a la que adora. Un buen dia, David recibe la inesperada visita de una misteriosa mujer que afirma representar a alguien muy poderoso que requiere los servicios de David como consultor. David acepta la invitacion, y viajan junto con Tess a Venecia; al poco de llegar, su hija desaparece. Es entonces cuando el academico ateo especializado en la Biblia y experto en demonologia, que piensa que el diablo es un invento del hombre, vera como sus creencias se derrumban y llegara a creer en el mismo diablo. Asi, David debera aplicar su conocimiento sobre mitologia demonologica para rescatar a la niña de las fuerzas satanicas.
