More than a decade after the end of the cold war has chilled the Marxist rebel movements around the world, one hot spot remains: Colombia. Why a democratic country with a growing economy should still feel the brushfires of a civil war is a mystery to U.S. analysts, but not to certain parties on the other side of the world. The inexplicable loss of three major U.S. assets draws the attention of the world to the Colombian demilitarized zone. Are the local Colombian rebels responsible? Or is a deadly Middle Eastern secret cloaked by the jungle canopy of the DMZ? Among the contingent of politicians and media headed for the DMZ seeking answers is reporter Julie Baker, whose parents had been missionaries in Colombia. Old hurts and terrors surge as she revisits the place of her birth... and her parents' deaths. When Julie's own abduction by guerrillas triggers a time bomb that has been ticking under the feet of the U.S. for a decade, she is left with more questions than answers.

The author will keep you on the edge of your seat for much of the book. She combines national intrigue, suspense, & a little romantic interest, but not too much.
It was written a number of years ago, but I'm sure the struggles in the country haven't changed that much. You will learn a lot about the country of Columbia.
Windle shows an ambitious young woman trying to understand why her parents were willing to give up very lucrative careers to love and serve people in remote jungles of Columbia. It seems to her like it was all for nothing. In search of a great story, she becomes involved in a plot which could have huge international effects for America. This book has a conversation where the two main characters have a discussion about why someone would believe in the God of the Bible over any other religion in the world. It was one of the best explanations I think I've ever read in a fiction book.
Once you read one book, you will want to read everything Jeanette Windle has written.
