About this ebook
An American citizen, who works as a Wall Street broker, gets contacted by a relative in Colombia who asks him to help him launder a huge amount of money of dubious origin. To do this job, the broker moves down to Argentina, South America, buying a summer villa in a far-flung corner of the country where a series of horrifying supernatural events take place. Just as he is about to die, he is saved by a powerful heroine.

They were not the kind of howls usually emitted by wolves or coyotes, but they seemed to come from the throat of some uncanny, beastly creature just out of hell. They were followed by human screams that pierced his eardrums.
Benjamin's heart beat faster at every human scream he heard. His blood pressure rose steadily; his temples hurt. It was as if two small hammers were pounding hard at the sides of his head. The horrifying howls turned into beastly, low-pitched growls and grunts, which carried a long way off in every direction. They made the window panes vibrate and the water in the jug which sat on the bedside table trembled.
Benjamin broke out in cold slimy sweat as he lay in bed...'
