When secret agent Leslie Frost is sent to Washington, D.C., her search for a murderer leads her to the jungles of Central America, where famed ethnobotanist Louis Bailey has vanished. Not coincidentally, his brother, who just happens to be the vice president, lies terminally ill with a mosquito-borne dengue fever -- the victim, Frost suspects, of assassination by insect. Frost must fight for her life not only in the rain forest, but in Washington, D.C., the wickedest jungle of all.
