The Jesuit Papers offers more than romantic adventure. If you like history, mystery, and a quest for lost civilizations, you will love this award winning novel. En route to find her missing father in the jungles of Paraguay, Kat Hamilton is arrested upon her arrival in Asunción and becomes mired in a web of political intrigue. Desperate to be on her way, she reluctantly agrees to accompany the surly and uncooperative Nick Ramsey to his vast jungle estate where she must translate the ancient Latin journal of a Jesuit Brother before she can continue the search for her father. In spite of Kat's considerable language skills, the translation from encoded Latin proves harder than anticipated and her situation becomes further complicated by her growing attraction to Nick. When a vengeful woman from Nick's past kidnaps Kat, she is forced to make an arduous trek through the Chaco, a jungle rife with snakes, deadly insects, vampire bats and flesh eating cannibals. With Nick in pursuit, the situation remains dire. But what else could one expect in the treacherous region Paraguayan natives call the Green Hell? - A. B. Fowler
