“Terrible things can happen in the most beautiful places. Riff Raff's stunning Costa Rican setting only underscores the dark dealings underneath a picture-perfect surface. Doc Macomber takes readers on a twisted ride through the rainforest.”—Hilary Davidson, Award winning author of The Damage Done and The Next One to Fall
The Indian boy's sagging corpse, seated high in the rainforest canopy, inexplicably sported a NY Yankee baseball cap. The grisly discovery made by a mischievous capuchin shakes loose a deadly eyelash viper and a stack of blood-splattered money, triggering a chain reaction which includes: a driven eco-activist, a reclusive expat soldier, drug cartels, indigenous Indians, cruise ship tourists, and two burnt out Americans who arrived in Costa Rica for a much needed rest. The Vietnamese investigator and his flame-haired pathologist lover soon find themselves on a “working vacation”.
“Doc Macomber takes us to the strikingly beautiful, yet deadly Costa Rican rainforest. There, we follow the trail of a cast of characters as lush and dangerous as the forest itself. Chapter by chapter, I felt myself drawn to Jack and Betty, the mysterious Lyman, the strong-willed Maria Sanchez and so many others—including the feisty monkey for whom the book is named. Riff Raff is a must-read.” —Bill Cameron, Spotted Owl Award winning author of County Line
