Spider Snatch
by Bill BranonEwie North is a typical young wife and mother-until a stray bullet kills her 18-month-old daughter and forever shatters Ewie's normal life. When her husband, Ted, suggests they go to Panama to buy a boat and cruise the Caribbean, she agrees- anything to bury her grief, anything to forget that she was once a mother. Shipwrecked off Panama's coast, Ewie finds herself on an island inhabited by gentle Cuna Indians but controlled by the henchmen of one of the world's most brutal drug lords- Spider. Degraded and abused, Ewie slowly loses her grip on hope, and her descent into hell becomes complete when she realizes that she's been sacrificed as the ultimate victim. But when Ewie changes the rules of the game, no one-not her husband, not the DEA, not even Spider- can stop her. Spider Snatch spins a web of betrayal and intrigue in trademark Branon style. All of the elements that made his first two novels, Let Us Prey and Devils Hole, classics within the action-adventure genre are present here, including the re-emergence of Branon's indelible dark hero, Arthur Arthur. Publisher's Weekly- calls Spider Snatch "a lively, invigorating adventure thriller, loaded with nonstop, nail-biting action." Like the protagonists in his newest high-voltage thriller, Bill Branon sank his sailboat off the coast of Panama. Shipwrecked on an island inhabited by Cuna Indians, Branon lived many of the adventures portrayed in Spider Snatch, and he uses those real-life experiences to spin a chilling story of betrayal, vengeance, and sacrifice.
