Spider Snatch

by Bill Branon

When Evvie North's husband Ted suggests they go to Panama to buy a boat and cruise the Caribbean, she agrees--anything to bury her grief, anything to forget that she had a young daughter who died in a tragic random accident.

Shipwrecked off Panama's coast, Evvie finds herself on an island inhabited by gentle Cuna Indians, but controlled by the henchmen of one of the world's most brutal drug lords--Spider. Degraded and abused, Evvie slowly loses her grip on hope, and her descent into hell becomes complete when she realizes that she's been sacrificed as the ultimate victim.

But when Evvie changes the rules of the game, no one--not her husband, not the DEA, not even Spider--can stop her.

Spider Snatch spins a web of betrayal and intrigue in trademark Branon style. All of the elements that made his first two novels, Let Us Prey and Devils Hole, classics within the action-adventure genre are present here, including the re-emergence of Branon's indelible dark hero, Arthur Arthur.
