The Butterfly Farm

INTRIGUE AND DANGER ON THE CARIBBEAN SEAS

Newly widowed Harriet MacIver has just taken on her first travel writing assignment -- rating an adventure cruise in the Caribbean. Add a gaggle of college students on a mini semester-at-sea voyage, a rusting hulk of a ship that misses more ports than it makes, and two deaths by poisonous butterfly, and Harriet is off and running on a hair-raising adventure. And that's before two coeds, Kate and Carly, go missing -- Carly being her boss's daughter.

Pulled into a dangerous web of bioethical intrigue, Harriet races against time. If the killer isn't stopped, Kate and Carly will die -- and that may only be the beginning of his plans for destruction.

With scant clues and fewer resources, Harriet must track down the college girls -- and outmaneuver a murderer who is only part of an elaborate plot of medical madness. Travel writing certainly isn't what Harriet thought it would be.
