A race against evil . . .
Emma Caldridge, a chemist for a cosmetics company, is en route from Miami to Bogotá when her plane is hijacked and spins out of control into the mountains near the Venezuelan border. Thrown unhurt from the wreckage, she can do nothing but watch as guerrillas take the other passengers hostage.
An endurance marathon runner, Emma silently trails the guerrillas and their captives, using her athletic prowess and scientific knowledge to stay alive. Those skills become essential when she discovers an injured passenger, secret government agent Cameron Sumner, separated from the group. Together they follow the hostages, staying one step ahead by staying one step behind.
Meanwhile, as news of the hijacking breaks in Washington, the Department of Defense turns to Edward Banner, former military officer and current CEO of a security consulting firm, for help. Banner quickly sends a special task force to the crash site, intent on locating the survivors before it's too late.
But finding Emma and Sumner is only the beginning, as Banner starts to realize that Emma was on a personal mission when the plane went down. There is more to the beautiful, talented biochemist than anyone ever imagined, for in her possession is a volatile biological weapon in an ingenious disguise, one that her enemies have set for auction to the highest bidder.
Combining the action-packed plotting of Lee Child and Daniel Silva, and the rich scientific detail of Kathy Reichs and Tess Gerritsen, Running from the Devil is a breathtaking debut from a bold and daring new author.

Running from the Devil
Emma Caldridge is a biochemist for a cosmetics company and is flying to Bogota, Columbia on a personal mission to eradicate a dangerous drug from the face of the earth. (Sorry you weren't suppose to know that).
Her plane crashes in the jungles of Columbia and over 50 surviving passengers are taken hostage by Columbian guerrillas. Emma is thrown from the wreckage and follows the guerrillas as they lead their hostages through the jungle. Needless to say there are some very nasty fellows in this group who like to do nasty things.
Matters get worse when the politicos of the both the United States and Columbia get involved and really mess things up (leave it to the politicians). The guerrillas also have problems of their own, because they are not only being chased by agents of Columbia and the United States, but also a rival guerilla faction.
I will not go into detail how Emma is able to sort out his mess but trust me I want her on my side in a fight. She is Superwoman, Wonder Woman, Rambo, and the Incrediable Hulk all wrapped up in one person.
I found the story to be totally unbelievable, especially when Emma races to find the plant that is used to produce the dangerous drug that could lead to world domination. She finds herself close to dying and must use the plant as an antidote. I fear that in real life she would have died a hundred times before she could have prepared the antidote.
I had a hard time staying focused and interested in reading this book. I felt there were just too many holes in the story to make in viable.
