Finn Teller Corporate Spy Mystery #4 Corporate spy Finn Teller is looking forward to some hard-earned R&R in Cartagena, Colombia, with her boyfriend. But a former client has a new job for her: escorting a noted biologist into the rain forest to look for a rare plant that has remarkable curative properties. A simple in-and-out operation, according to Finn's boss.
But the rain forest is in Guevaria, a newly independent nation controlled by a Marxist government hostile to Americans, and a place where kidnapping is one of the most lucrative sources of income. Cut off from communication with the rest of the world, Finn soon learns the most dangerous threats aren't wildlife or weather.
She also discovers the rain forest conceals yet another secret-one worth killing to keep. Can Finn save herself and other innocents before it is too late?
About the Author: Thriller Award-winning author Twist Phelan is a modern nomad, telling stories as she travels the world.
Twist has always been a storyteller. Growing up in a half-Irish family meant coming to dinner with "an interesting story to tell." While at Stanford earning her undergraduate and law degrees, she wrote for the student paper. As a plaintiff's trial lawyer suing middle-aged white guys who stole other people's money, she wove evidence into compelling narratives that persuaded juries. Now, as a writer, she creates characters who enlighten, entertain, and endure long after the tale is finished. Her work has won awards, been featured in "Best Of" compilations, and been praised by Michael Connelly, Sue Grafton, Nelson DeMille, Jan Burke, Margaret Maron, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Booklist.
She is also a peripatetic world traveler. After retiring from a successful law career, Twist bought a boat and circumnavigated the globe (with her Norwegian Forest cat) for ten years. She also earned her private pilot's wings.
Twist continues to explore the world while combining her passion for storytelling and travel in her books, including her latest, the Finn Teller Corporate Spy mystery series. Her blog chronicles her journeys as she continues to fight crime in fiction and reign as the Queen of Living Out of a Suitcase, packing everything from cycling togs for Australia to gowns for the Italian opera in one carry-on.
