A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Rob Thurston lived and worked in Latin America for over 15 years. During that period, he served as a Peace Corps Volunteer, Peace Corps Associate Director, US Agency for International Development program manager and as a development consultant. His assignments took him to many far corners and backcountry places where he met and worked with all kinds of people, many commendable but a few of dubious character. Hailing from Oregon, his ancestors ventured west by wagon train, thus passing along a sense of adventure and a curiosity about new frontiers. The author drew from all of these elements and experiences to weave together the twists and turns of Devil’s Breath. A more complete and non-fictional account of Rob Thurston’s professional and family experiences abroad are recounted in Life’s Treks and Trails: My Journey from Vale to Kathmandu, by Robert V. Thurston, which is available in paperback on Amazon.com/Books.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Matt Bolls’ well-intentioned volunteer service in Latin America turns into a nightmare of deceit, rape, murder and international intrigue. His insertion into a remote village and alien culture quickly challenges his naive notions and assumptions, indeed, his very existence. Matt desperately flees from the many who wish to see him dead, a flight immersing him into a dark world of shadowy foreign figures and events, all in dangerous, violence-plagued locations. Unexpected allies provide him and his agonizing father, a US congressman, windows of hope along the way. Diamonds, cocaine and smuggled arms are the stock in trade along Matt’s underground trajectory.
