An Island of Quality in an Ocean of Slush
Mosquito
Forget global warming and logging companies. The real threats to the planet are those pesky little bugs...and a deadly plague they carry.
Adventure tour guide Ben Baxter isn't thinking about mass destruction when he meets a sweet young woman named Poppy at a tavern. But Poppy has a satchel full of cash and some very suspicious photographs. When Ben invites her on an eco-tour, he doesn't know that he may be on the edge of unleashing a lethal outbreak, destroying the national parks...and wiping out life as he knows it. A non-stop thriller that will keep you spellbound to the end.
