Stone temples rising above the rainforest canopy and elaborate hieroglyphs carved onto stone monuments give silent testimony to the high culture of the Maya ancestors of the indigenous peoples of Central America.

GreenKnight is a thriller of love, patriotism, and corruption within the Executive branch of the government, and is the second novel in the Green trilogy, the first being GreenCove. In GreenKnight, Sheldon Flagler Scott finds himself on the Tamiami Trail in southern Florida heading west out of Miami with a hurricane at his back. Hurricane Kitty, a slow-moving, immense storm is approaching the southeast coast of the state. Shell is a special agent for the United States Secret Service pledged to keep the President out of trouble politically.

Shell discovers a Cuban plot to become a world power and traces the problem to the DEA and a nest of dishonesty, graft, bribery, and fraud in high places.
