Travel writer Lily Moore has been persuaded by her closest friend, photographer Jesse Robb, to visit Peru with him. At Machu Picchu, they discover a woman clinging to life at the bottom of an ancient stone staircase. Just before the woman dies, she tells Lily the name of the man who pushed her. When the local police investigate, the forensic evidence they find doesn't match what Lily knows. Unable to accept the official ruling of accidental death, Lily hunts down the wealthy man who was the dead woman's traveling companion and discovers a pattern of dead and missing women in his wake. Obsessed with getting justice for these women, Lily sets in motion a violent chain of events that will have devastating consequences.

      Davidson’s exciting follow-up to her debut, 2010’s The Damage Done, takes travel journalist Lily Moore, who’s still reeling from her sister’s death in The Damage Done, to Peru. Soon after Lily and her photographer best friend, Jesse Robb, overhear an argument between a couple while exploring the ruins of Machu Picchu, they discover a woman of about 30 lying at the bottom of a steep staircase. The fatally injured woman, who says her name is Trista, claims her boyfriend, Len, made her drink some sort of drug, then pushed her down the stairs. When the police dismiss the death as an accidental fall, Lily resolves to get justice for Trista. Len, Lily soon learns, is a rich boy gone bad with a past riddled with missing women. The rich history and geography of Peru add depth to an engrossing mystery that constantly keeps the reader guessing. Agent: Judith Weber.

      Trying to recover from her sister's death of a heroin overdose, Lily, a travel writer, and her best friend Jesse, a travel photographer, head to Machu Picchu. While on the mountain, Lily sees a woman fall and a man run away. The woman's last words convince Lily that she was pushed. Hilary Huber is the overwrought Lily as danger, death, and mystery follow her across the Peruvian Andes. Huber deftly handles the many characters: the self-destructive son and heir of a billionaire, the brutal bodyguards who will do anything to protect him, the very pregnant sister who may have ulterior motives, and the billionaire himself. Huber avoids stereotypes and keeps the occasionally melodramatic sequences under control. Huber's performance makes an exciting mystery even better. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
