New York Times best-selling author Stuart Woods is hailed as a master of the modern thriller. With books including Chiefs, Dead in the Water and Worst Fears Realized, he has attracted millions of fans who relish their nonstop suspense and danger. Wendell "Cat" Catledge is sailing along the coast of South America with his wife and teenaged daughter when engine trouble forces them to a small Colombian dockyard. Suddenly, their vacation becomes a nightmare. Cat is unconscious, his boat is sinking, his wife and child lie bloody and cold in the cabin. Months later, a phone call in the middle of the night leads Cat to believe that his daughter is still alive. His search for her will take him deep into the Amazon jungle and into the maelstrom of an all-consuming revenge. The intense action in White Cargo builds to a shattering showdown that is all the more gripping through L.J. Ganser's dramatic narration.

"Extremely good story: engaging, fast-paced, unexpected turns, good writing, and great plot. I loved this as it served such a great distraction when I was going through a busy period of work and school. It just wasn't long enough. Only book I have read by Stuart Woods but I'd read him again......"
— Farnoosh (4 out of 5 stars)
“A straight ahead, damn-the-torpedoes storyteller.”
— Washington Post“Woods serves up a slam-bang rescue as a fitting finale.”
— Publishers Weekly" Excellent portayal of people involved in drug trade in Colombia. "
— Jennifer, 2/20/2014" I bought this at the airport after a 7 day catamaran charter in the british virgin islands. I could relate to the sailing and stopping somewhere unfamiliar (but nothing like theirs; everyone knows to NOT go to Columbia, don't they??) The book kept me occupied although I pretty much had it figured out from the beginning, sort of like those Hallmark movies during the holidays. If you're looking for something to keep you occupied for a long flight, this will make the journey a little shorter. "
