Publisher's Synopsis
Max lands a dangerous mission on an Indian Ocean island that's quickly descending into chaos . . . Since a bomb blew him through a hotel window in Colombo, international fixer Max Donovan's life has become more complicated. He's in possession of a manuscript which is proof of a revolutionary insurgency encircling Sri Lanka. He is not, however, in possession of its author, Osbert--just his beguiling niece, who wants Donovan's help. Their adversary is a powerful drugs lord who has his fangs out. Osbert can't fall prey to him. Neither can the manuscript. Unless he is stopped, the whole country is in danger. Facing obstacles like shark-infested waters, dense jungle, and hijacked trains is just the start of it. Donovan will have to enter the serpent's lair to subdue the threat, once and for all.
