Synopsis

What if there was an herb, previously lost to history in the jungles of Central America, capable of inducing an experience so momentous it could shake the foundations of Western civilization? What if powerful forces on both sides of the law got wind of that herb, and both launched a violent and uncompromising pursuit to be the first to exploit it? And what if FBI agent Sean Reilly and his girlfriend Tess Chaykin were, unknowingly, the only two people who could keep the lid on this Pandora's box capable of destabilizing the world? Sean and Tess have traveled the globe to unravel ancient mysteries with present-day ramifications, and in The Devil's Elixir, they find themselves in a race against the clock, against drug kingpins, and even against the DEA. They must merge two trials one that is several hundred years old and the other as current as a heartbeat.
