Cupiditas: Evil's Root
Cupiditas: Evil's Root is set in South America. Like the author's political thriller In Deep, it is full of twists and turns, romance and adventure, with dark underpinnings that show how powerful, ruthless political and corporate structures cast shadows over the lives of all of us. In this exciting mystery, you'll meet fascinating characters you'll never forget: Drug lords, mass murderers, a courageous old grandfather, and two young Americans brave enough to confront the greatest power on earth.

Michael Segedy's novel Evils Root tells the story of Steve Collins, an expatriate American journalist living in Peru, who is investigating the death of a U.S. Senator who was allegedly killed by leftist-guerrillas. As he delves deeper into the story, Collins ventures into the jungles of Peru and becomes entangled in a web of schemes involving drug traffickers, guerrillas, diplomats, anti-terrorism operatives, and others who threaten to kill his story and perhaps, ultimately, him. Here is a seductive expatriate's tale, brimming with intrigue, politics, and humor. -- Jake Halpern, author of the New York Times Pulitzer Prize–winning graphic story Welcome to the New World
