Paparazzo HENRIETTA FOX can’t keep out of trouble. The flame-haired camera girl in biker’s leathers, with an Irish temper, pictures The Madonna, star of the Hollywood blockbuster VIRGIN MARY, making love on the back seat of a stretch limo. The movie is hot property and Henri wants to auction her scandalous picture around the globe. She teams with CASS FARRADAY, an ex-public schoolboy turned tabloid reporter with a devious line in interviews, to expose the ‘chaste’ star’s secret past. The trail will lead them from Madrid to the notorious Boyaca Emerald Valley in Colombia. The movie star, with a yen for cocaine and public sexual exhibitionism, has another life. She is one of three dangerous daughters of a ruthless emerald mine owner who takes what he want with a gun. He pays the left-wing guerrilla FARC for protection. But the U.S. President has sent an American black operations team to kill him. On this deadly assignment Henrietta and Cass will have to survive them both.
