When Dr. Julian Lambert receives millions in funding for his water-bottling operation deep in the Amazonian rainforest, workers and owners alike celebrate their good fortune. All except one man--Lambert's mysterious foreman, Manolo--who whispers a grave warning: Opportunity is not the only thing money brings... Manolo knows the price of success in this lawless part of the Peruvian jungle--a place where good intentions and noble pursuits often suffer violent deaths. He understands the news of Dr. Lambert's windfall will spread like blood in the ocean, which can mean only one thing: sharks are coming. A new work of short fiction from the Derringer-nominated author of Ballistic and The God of Speed.
