Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Revolution has a price. Love may cost even more.The Andes and Amazon of the turbulent 1970s are a world of military dictators, revolutionary dreams, cocaine money, and dangerous alliances.At the center of it all is Amador-wealthy, charismatic, U.S.-educated, and determined to bring down Peru's repressive military dictatorship. His revolutionary movement, the CDP, is growing rapidly, fueled by idealism, money from the cocaine trade, and a willingness to fight corruption with whatever tools are necessary.Then Amador meets Jimena.Beautiful, brilliant, and fiercely independent, Jimena joins the CDP and quickly becomes far more than Amador's lover. She is his intellectual equal, his trusted partner, and the woman who shares his dream of transforming their country. Their passionate relationship becomes inseparable from the revolution itself-and puts them both in greater danger.Meanwhile, Washington is watching.Still haunted by the failures of Cuba and Vietnam, the CIA wants a foothold in the revolution before it reaches power. They recruit Tom, Amador's old American college friend-a divorced, guitar-playing, pot-smoking former math teacher who hardly looks like a spy-to find Amador and open a secret channel to the CDP.As revolution, espionage, cocaine money, betrayal, and romance collide, loyalties become impossible to define.In this dangerous game, corruption battles corruption, revolution has a human face, and love has no guard rails.
