When Alligators Laugh

About the Book

American scientists, Liz and Jon Clark, are baffled when they discover they are being tracked by potential killers while on a research assignment to Singapore, Liz's birthplace. Struggling through a series of frightening near-death attacks, Liz finally realizes that she hold the clue to the location of an enormous missing treasure which was hidden during the chaos of World War II in Southeast Asia.

WHEN ALLIGATORS LAUGH is a tightly structured puzzler, an intelligent, fast-paced novel of intrigue where the appealing protagonists, though obviously brainy, are slow to tumble to their involvement in a bizarre situation. Exotic locales in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia come to life as backdrops for this exciting thriller.
