Two to Tango

Nick Madrid #3

by Peter Guttridge

"Journalist Nick Madrid finds himself up the proverbial creek - the Amazon - without a paddle when he's dispatched to South America to report on a Rock Against Drugs tour." "As if monstrous spiders, piranhas, kidnapping and tiny, spiky fish that swim up a stream of urine to lodge where a man least wants a tiny, spiky fish to lodge aren't enough, Madrid is drawn into the mystery of who is trying to kill the tour's headlining, larger-than-life, pain-in-the-posterior rock megastar Otis Barnes." Madrid soon discovers that the murdering queue forms on the left for Mr. Barnes. The question is: Can he prevent Barnes' date with death at the final concert at Machu Picchu?
