Harold Robbins has thrilled millions of readers for decades with tales heavy in action, ruthless characters, international intrigue, and the sexiest people on the planet. Now, he takes us on a wild ride in the exciting, cutthroat world of coffee markets. Nash Novak, a struggling Seattle businesswoman who has been framed for arson and murder, is in desperate need of money for her defence. The only way for her to get it: a coffee plantation she has inherited. But there's a catch - she has to run the plantation, deep in the jungles of Colombia, a land of drug lords and warlords. The mysterious inheritance of the plantation, from the father she had never met, comes at the same time a criminal conspiracy is turning Nash's life into a living hell - a conspiracy that stretches all the way to Colombia. But no one brings as much danger to Nash's life as Pablo Escobar, king of the Medellin drug cartels, considered the most dangerous man in Colombia. Things get even more complicated when Nash's quest to clear herself takes her to Shanghai, home of the powerful Chinese Triads that control the flow of dirty money from gambling, prostitution, drugs, and murder. Refusing to let the cartel's murderers drive her off the plantation and ruin the lives of hundreds of families who work it, Nash Novak tackles organized crime and police agencies on two continents to save her plantation...and stay alive.

Born in 1916 in New York City, Harold Robbins was a millionaire by the time he was twenty. He lost his fortune by speculating on the price of sugar before the outbreak of World War II. Later, his fabulously successful career as a novelist, with many of his books turned into movies, would once again make him incredibly wealthy. For many years, Robbins enjoyed the high life among the rich and famous; he owned a huge yacht and had houses on the French Riviera and in Beverly Hills. His novels often mirrored his own experiences and were often peopled with the characters he had met. He died at the age of eighty-one, survived by his wife, Jann, and his two daughters, Caryn and Adreana.
