A Chief Inspector Mario Silva Investigation
The granddaughter of a prominent politician is missing. Silva and his team find her in Manaus, a jungle hellhole on the Amazon where an evil female doctor is making gory snuff films. Silva must overcome his own department's indifference and the corrupt local cops before he can obtain a semblance of justice for the victims.
"Ruthless when necessary and under no illusions about the broken system within which he works, Silva is the right man in the right place." - Publishers Weekly
"This story line makes Dying Gasp best for readers who are already familiar with Silva’s investigations." - Booklist
