Readers meet investigative reporter Taylor Kerrick in Book 1 of award-winning author Laurie Carter's conservation-themed mystery series.
A high-profile murder suddenly thrusts Vancouver reporter Taylor Kerrick into the secret world of international ivory smugglers. She's willing to do whatever it takes to expose the criminals and raise awareness about the plight of endangered elephants. It doesn't faze her when it becomes clear that she'll have to follow her main lead across the Pacific.
Taylor's editor isn't so sure. And if Ben Palasco had any idea about the threatening letters-or her plan to actually snare the smugglers-she knows he'd never let her go. But even though she manages to keep these details from him, Ben insists on local backup. Very much against her objections, he arranges for photojournalist Matt Anderson to meet her in Taiwan. Taylor bristles, but grudgingly appears to agree-fully intending to ditch the guy as soon as she gets there.
First impressions confirm her resolve, but the totally alien environment-and unforeseen complications (including an unexpected personal connection)-ultimately force Taylor to admit she wants his help. Simple surveillance gives way to deadly threats and the pair have to improvise on the run. Taylor returns to Vancouver, confident that she can finally spring her trap, but instead, finds herself in the crosshairs of a remorseless villain.
