The first thing that comes to my mind is the author's grip on me and the second stark reality about this novel was the pace at which I read it, in flat two days !!! Well there were many contributing factors to it, like my Vellapan, Boredom and above all the Sexy, Saucy and Raunchy Narration by the author.
The novel is set against the deadly backdrop of Latin America and the deadliest among all, in Colombia, where the major export (and its major cash crop) of this country to the world is Cocaine apart from Coffee, the famous Coffee Arabica. The protagonist of the novel is an American Lady, going by the name of Nash Novak, a successful business woman and master strategist, who runs a successful coffee shop in US of A who inherits a coffee plantation in none other than deadly Colombia !!! She comes to claim her inheritance, left to her by her father, a genius coffee grower hoping that it will bail her out of her financial troubles back home, unknowingly drawn in by the Colombian Drug Cartel. The moment she lands up in Colombia, she is drawn into the deadliest battle against the Villian, a Colombian Drug Mafioso, Don Pablo Escobar who wants to use that place as a laboratory for Cocaine. From Colombia she lands up in China to sell her produce (Coffee re... whats on your mind ???) but again get entangled with Chinese Triad, again a Chinese underworld gang and running for her life she comes back to Colombia and start the ultimate fight with the billionaire mafia with the help of none other than our Hero (no need to say he is an American too) !!! Finally she wins the battle, despite being abducted, raped and thrashed with the help of our Hero, the American agencies like DEA, CIA, FBI, NSA and blah blah blah and what not ???
The moral of the story, there is always a Happy Ending, Come What May !!! The best part of the novel is the pace at which it is set........ A fast moving and taut storyline with lots of Crimson, lots of steamy sex escapades (truly Robinson type !!! I still cant forget his Novel The Betsy), lots of brutality and finally a palatable end. A good time pass for the weekend.
The novel has left me enriched with the History, Geography and Culture of Colombia and ya yes of course with deep insight of the world's favourite drink, the Coffee or Cafe and the world's famous smoke, the Cocaine. Otherwise I just knew the types of coffee on the menu card of Baristas, CCDs, Mochas. Well to share with you coffee is of two types, one is the famous Arabica and another is the inferior one Robusta. Furthermore not to forget the great deal of information on Cocaine and the Date Rape Drug, Scopalamine !!!
