SYNOPSIS:

Members of David Hamilton’s tours get their money’s worth. The misadventures of his group are sometimes funny, sometimes filled with danger and suspense. How could a trip anywhere be simple with a guide like this? Think Hercule Poirot, James Bond and Rick Steves in one body. He speaks five languages and can talk about the history and politics of every country his tours touch. It is rumored that he has been recruited by CIA or Interpol. He is also handsome, athletic and plays a mean classical guitar.

Winnie, Hamilton's assistant, is Chinese, bright, pretty, efficient, speaks English with a strong accent. She will take instruction from David, but she is far from subservient. She does what he asks if she wishes, and does it very well, but ignores him when she chooses. There is a rumor that he won her in a poker game in Bangkok.

The setting is Belize. What starts out as an ordinary tour in an exotic Central American country deteriorates quickly as the tour group gets caught up in an attempted coup. The belligerent group seeks to discredit the government, which depends on tourism, by killing tourists, namely, David’s group.
