Leslie Gibson was a wealthy, beautiful, seventeen-year-old bratβout for kicks at any price. And Leslie had decided that Reid Rance, adventurer and travel guide extraordinaire, was just the man to show her the hot spots of Mexico. But touring led to trouble with a capital T, and Reid was soon minus one debutante, plus several unwanted corpses, and desperately wanted by Mexican and American police ... as well as the Mexican underground. Could Reid evade the cops and rescue Leslie from her underground abductors before time ran out for them both?
