Jungle Up

by Nick Pirog

Overview

Weaving exotic locale and hairpin twists, author Nick Pirog’s Jungle Up plunges readers into a world where the only thing more dangerous than the gun-toting drug traffickers and the ruthless tribesmen is the jungle itself. A riveting thriller in the bestselling Thomas Prescott series.

“Please find me, Thomas! Please!”

Two years ago, Dr. Gina Brady broke Thomas Prescott’s heart, but now her panic-stricken satellite phone call starts it beating again with a fury. Thugs kidnapped the good doctor from the remote jungle village where she was working, and now the retired homicide detective’s expert skills are desperately needed to save her.

Led by a colorful, but perhaps untrustworthy local guide, Prescott journeys deep into the Bolivian Amazon, plunging into a world where the only thing more dangerous than the gun-toting drug traffickers and the ruthless tribesmen, is the jungle itself.

When Gina’s trail leads to a chance encounter with an archaeological expedition, the search for the missing doctor takes on even deadlier consequences. But Prescott will not relent in this punishing quest until, once again, he holds Gina in his arms.

The books in the Thomas Prescott Series can be enjoyed in any order, so grab Jungle Up and get started today.

Editorial Reviews

Pirog’s books are sharply written, evenly paced, and filled with unexpected wit.”

303 Magazine

A retired homicide detective braves the Bolivian jungles to rescue the woman he loves…A fascinating backdrop, exciting adventures, plenty of twists.”

Kirkus Reviews

Strange and unique, an adventure and a mystery, this is a modern interpretation of age-old jungle-wet adventure, but you couldn’t call it your grandpa’s book. Real readers who appreciate real writers, storytellers with a sense of wonder, need this.”

Joe R. Lansdale

In smooth, limpid prose [Pirog] builds a stunner of a novel, winding up a series of tense situations and exploding them in scenes of shock and surprise. Each time you think you’ve reached the core of things…the rug is pulled from under you. The mood at the end might strike readers as undeservedly joyous, but we’ve needed that.”

Booklist

This is wry, rollicking fun. Pirog’s easygoing hero battles everything from cannibals and cartels to scorpions and snakes…lots of snakes. And the payoff? A treasure more valuable than gold.”

Brian Freeman

Jungle Up is a thriller of a read from first page to last and will prove to be an immediately welcome and enduringly popular addition to the personal reading lists of all dedicated suspense/thriller fans.”

Midwest Book Review

Jungle Up is a fabulous read, with vivid settings, fascinating characters, and a plot that takes the reader into the heart of the jungle and beyond. I highly recommend this book.”
