Dusty Diamond travels to Venezuela. Venezuela? Yes, Dusty has another FBI tasking to resolve, and this one's serious. Very serious. And Dangerous. Very dangerous. But Dusty has obligated herself to the FBI because of her last screw-up in Diamond In The Rough. Dusty, however, has the pathetic help of her "bickering buddy" - Buddy Bowers. Oh no! Yes, the "dueling duo" is back together and having at each other once again. Yikes! Slave-trading and counterfeiting operations have wandered outside the FBI's jurisdiction. Dusty and Buddy are the scapegoats-again. So what if the Agency loses a couple investigators in a foreign country? Dusty and Buddy aren't real agents anyway. What? Dusty teams up with Leuka Liendo. Will this handsome fellow supplant Dusty's feelings for Buddy? Dusty's not sure if Leuka is there to help, or if he's part of the undercover operation she's trying to uncover. Oh-oh! They locate the source of the counterfeiting and get samples, but they lose them. Then they get them back-only to lose them again. Huh?
