Evil Stalks the Yucatan is an action-packed thriller set in the jungle of Yucatan, Mexico. The events unfold over the time frame of four days. One of the characters, a woman named Destiny Ramos, left Mexico twenty years ago to escape the brutal beatings of a drunken and abusive spouse. Fleeing with her blue-eyed son, the result of a single night of passion with an American tourist, Destiny finds refuge and love in America. Reunited, they return to Mexico to hunt with Destiny's life-long friends: Manuel Olaguibel and his wife Lorena. The Olaguibels own and operate a hunting lodge within the deep jungles of the Yucatan. On the road to the lodge, their adventure begins with an unexpected roadblock in which the Mexican Federales square off in a gun fight with the Cartel. Arriving at the lodge, they enjoy a few days of peace and quiet. The tranquility is shattered when Destiny's husband disappears leaving behind his backpack, shotgun and a pool of blood. At the same time, Destiny barely escapes what is thought to be an attack by a rabid jaguar and the escapade broadens into a breathtaking hunt for the missing American. Trailing the jaguar with Manuel's hounds, the rescue team discovers a never before seen Mayan temple hidden by thick jungle vegetation. When the trail of the jaguar leads to an opening at the base of the structure, the team realizes they must enter in order to rescue Destiny's missing husband. The saga rapidly expands into an intricate tale that twists and turns as the rescue team try to determine if they are fighting a wild jaguar, the cartel or an enemy that cannot be defined.
