Teen twins, Jenny and Justin Parker, love traveling with their uncle in Bolivia and can't wait to see the jungles of South America. But when their safari is put on hold because of their uncle's business the twins are sure they will be bored...until they stumble on a secret U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency camp and into the path of dangerous drug dealers. It isn't too long before Justin and Jenny realize that the red-eyed man following them may be more dangerous than the scorpions, tarantulas, and man-eating jaguars.
In this second adventure, the Parker twins travel to an oil field with their uncle only to find themselves in the middle of a dangerous DEA investigation. It isn't long before Justin and Jenny realize that the scorpions, tarantulas, and jaguars are the least of their concerns.

Tell us a little about yourself. I myself grew up overseas in the counries and
places described in my books. My parents were
missionaries in Colombia. My own childhood was
spent canoeing up and down the jungle rivers,
flying in Cessna to boarding school in Venezuela,
hiking up the Andes mountains and into the
jungles of South America. Now I am married to
Marty Windle. We have four children. We spent 15
years as missionaries in Bolivia, also site of
several of my books. In June, 2000, we moved to
Miami, FL where my husband took up the position
of Director of Personnel with Latin America
Mission.
What was your motivation behind this project? My motivation was not only to write an exciting
mystery/suspense novel for preteens, but to teach
solid Christian values and to open children's
minds to a great, exciting world beyond our
bordrs of other peoples and cultures no so
different under the surface than our own.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope that through Cave of the Inca Re and the
rest of the Parker Twin Series, children will
gain a wider world view than their own
neighborhoods, that through these books they will
be able to feel that they know people--children--
of other cultures. And that, like Justin and
Jenny, they will also learn to share their own
faith with people who are different than
themselves.
