\n

A MOUTHFUL OF POISON FROG\u2026.
\nWHERE\u2019S THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE?<\/p>\n

Ace detective Lee Alvarez is perfectly cozy at home with her cats when she and her former Navy SEAL husband receive a panicky call from JJ, an archeologist cousin, who\u2019s on assignment deep in the Guatemalan jungle. The news? JJ is pregnant– and the father of her child has gone missing in the wilderness. The site director won\u2019t let JJ call the police, so she asks Lee to travel to the jungle and track down her missing man.
\nBegging for help from Lee Alvarez sure makes sense–Lee\u2019s family runs Discretionary Inquiries, a ritzy Silicon Valley P.I. firm. Lee is the star detective, her Uncle Tio\u2019s on staff as the genius chef, and Lee\u2019s brother, Richard, is a whiz at all things technology. Not to mention the presence of Lee\u2019s very high class, upscale, and frankly scary mother Lila. Who–by the way\u2014steamrolls her way onto Lee\u2019s jungle trip.
\nA beleaguered Lee, the judgmental and prissy Lila, and Lee\u2019s gorgeous SEAL husband (turned partner-in-crime) depart on the adventure of a lifetime, perfect for cozy mystery armchair travelers. And, once in the jungle, the already-gripping story takes a grisly turn: the three investigators have barely arrived in the lush, verdant wilderness when they discover a dead man–the assistant to JJ\u2019s missing husband–dressed in traditional Mayan warrior garb with a poisonous frog crammed in his mouth.
\nAnd that\u2019s just for starters: author Haven concocts a wild ride through the jungle that\u2019s simultaneously fun, potentially fatal, and always entertaining.<\/p>\n
