Congo

Author's Note:

This book was previously published under the title The Taste of Fear. Given that the story takes place deep in the Congo jungle, a truly terrifying place, I decided it would be a good fit with the World's Scariest Places series.

In the jungle, no one can hear you scream.

American movie star Scarlett Cox and her husband, hotel tycoon Salvador Brazza, head to Africa to get away and resuscitate their ailing marriage. When robbed of their money and passports, they seek help from the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam on the very day Al Qaeda chooses to bomb it.

In an eyeblink they are taken hostage and whisked across the border deep into the Congo, one of the last truly wild places left on earth.

Battling terrorists, deadly wildlife, and cannibalistic rebels, Scarlett and Sal must find a way to survive in a violent, primeval world. And the only person who may be able to save them is the assassin sent to kill them.

Praise for Jeremy Bates:

★ "A relentless, pulse-pounding thriller set in the heart of darkness!" ★ "Survival horror at its finest—brutal, gripping, and impossible to put down!" ★ "A terrifying journey into the unknown, where every shadow hides a new nightmare!" ★ "Bates delivers non-stop action, spine-chilling suspense, and unforgettable characters!" ★ "An adrenaline-fueled race against death—pure, unfiltered horror!" ★ "Binge-worthy storytelling that keeps you breathless until the last page!"

Deep in the jungle, the true horror begins…
