Produktbeschreibung
Detective Jenn Moreno pursues the murderer of a global oil executive across her native country of Ecuador. She suspects that the murderer is hiding among the members of an international group of eco-tourists on a running vacation that spans the Ecuadorian Andes mountains, Amazon rainforest, and Galápagos Islands. The murder of the Aspire Oil CEO during a lavish banquet in Quito, Ecuador sends shockwaves through the corridors of power. Known for his cutthroat business acumen, the CEO had just clinched a contentious deal to exploit oil reserves deep in the Amazon jungle, promising prosperity for some and ruin for others. Found dead in his hotel shower, still dressed in a tuxedo, his demise becomes a high-profile case for the local authorities. Federal agents suspect foul play within the oil giant's own ranks, a power struggle that could reshape the future of the oil company. However, the dogged Detective Jenn Moreno isn't satisfied with the internal conspiracy theory. After discovering peculiar clues at the crime scene, her suspicion veers toward an unexpected group: an international ensemble of eco-runners staying at the same luxury hotel. Defying explicit orders, Detective Moreno delves deeper into the eco-runners' ostensibly innocent world. Suspenseful and rich with the vivid landscapes of Ecuador, this murder mystery explores the deadly intersections of environmentalism, corporate greed, and personal vendettas. Can Detective Moreno catch the murderer before her investigation is cut brutally short? Join her on this perilous journey across Ecuador, where nature's beauty conceals deadly secrets.
