Book excerpt: An Antarctic research vessel sinks with all hands in the freezing ocean of the Patagonia. A popular priest is murdered inside a Puerto Montt cathedral. Prominent Washington, D.C. international lawyer, Stephan Brent, pleads for his protégé Emmanuelle Solis to hand-deliver incriminating files to him in South America where he is hiding. But when Emmanuelle embarks on the harrowing journey to Chile, her plan quickly goes awry.Brent's body is found on the Argentine-Chile border, and the FBI and Interpol link Emmanuelle to a radical conspiracy implicated in his abduction and murder. What secrets do the Patagonia Files hold? Has Emmanuelle made the biggest mistake of her life? Fleeing authorities, she learns that someone in her law firm harbors an explosive secret, and will kill to conceal it. Pursued by a Chilean Prefect of Investigative Police--whose belief in the beautiful lawyer's innocence is in perilous conflict with his orders to surrender her to foreign authorities--Emmanuelle embarks on a labyrinthine voyage through the misted fjords and glaciers, into the Patagonia. She has only seventy-two hours to uncover the truth about Brent's murder, the Patagonia Files, and the sabotaged scientific expedition before a request to extradite her to the US is delivered to a Chilean judge.
