Hurricane Gold — Charlie Higson

Car chases. Flesh-eating ants. Cold-blooded criminals. Not exactly what James Bond had in mind for his vacation. . . .

As a hurricane ravages a small Mexican community, a gang of thieves lies in ambush -- they want ex-flying ace Jack Stone's safe, and will kill for its contents. Stone's children, Precious and JJ, are kidnapped, and James must embark on a perilous chase through the jungle to rescue them and retrieve the stolen items. The clues ultimately lead him to the island of Lagrimas Negras, a haven for deadly criminals, controlled by the ruthless El Huracan.

James will have to use all of his instincts and cunning if he's going to escape with his life. But the only way off the island is through a treacherous maze, La Avenida de la Muerte -- the Avenue of Death. On this terrifying trail of greed and betrayal, only danger is guaranteed ... survival is not.
