Gideon Oliver seriesbook 14 of 18Next:Uneasy Relations(2008) →

A new mystery to chill the bones-from the Edgar(r) Award-winning author of Unnatural Selection.

As they travel upriver, one of the botanists is killed by a deranged passenger who leaps overboard and flees into the darkness. No one can explain why. Theories begin to simmer, and stories of long-past, half-forgotten grudges-and new ones as well-boil to the surface.

Only when a fresh skeleton turns up in the river, scoured to the bone by voracious piranhas, does Gideon realize that in this jungle full of predators, humans may be the deadliest of all.
