Tropical Treachery cover

In this updated reprint of Rick Chesler's kiDNApped, a priceless biotechnology, an FBI agent, and an unspeakable act of familial betrayal collide in a tropical kidnapping more twisted than a DNA double helix.

When a renowned scientist with a solution for global warming is kidnapped at sea, FBI Special Agent Tara Shores must unravel a high-tech trail of S.O.S. messages encoded into the DNA of living cells. As each decoded message brings Tara nearer to the missing genius, it also takes her farther from help than she ever thought possible.

“FBI agent Tara Shores is back in Chesler’s latest pulse-pounding techno-thriller, Treacherous Tropics, an intelligent page-turner that will keep you reading late into the night!” —Jeremy Robinson, author of Threshold

“Chesler melds science and adventure with the brilliant command of the late Crichton. Treacherous Tropics takes readers on a Hawaiian journey they won't soon forget.” —Douglas Corleone, author of Night on Fire

“Great scientific concepts that are based in reality, especially the secret messages encoded in DNA.… Vivid setting in Hawaiian islands with lots of local color and local detail. Good pacing will keep you reading to the end. FBI agent Tara Shores is one cool, competent chick.” —ScienceThrillers.com

“Rick Chesler's biotech thriller Treacherous Tropics is a pulse-pounder of the highest order!” —Weekly EBook Reader

“The lush Hawaiian setting is conveyed in a way that immerses the reader in the story. There's a strong scientific element to the plot, but is handled in a way that keeps the book accessible. Treacherous Tropics is an exciting techno/science thriller in the spirit of Michael Crichton.” —MEGALITH reviews

“Chesler really had me with all the clever science experiments, fast-paced chase scenes, gun action and original twists and turns. I need a crowbar to pry myself away.” —TheNovelBlog.com
