Beschreibung zu „The Devil To Pay“

Harold Robbins and Junius Podrug take readers on a wild ride in the exciting, cutthroat world of coffee markets in The Devil to Pay

Nash Novak, a struggling Seattle businesswoman who has been framed for arson and murder, is in desperate need of money for her defense. The only way for her to get it: A coffee plantation she has inherited. But there's a catch: She has to run the plantation, deep in the jungles of Colombia, a land of drug lords and warlords.

The mysterious inheritance of the plantation, from the father she had never met, comes at the same time a criminal conspiracy is turning her life into a living hell—a conspiracy that stretches all the way to Colombia.
Racing to South America, on the run from the police, she becomes entangled with suspicious characters: Ramon, rich and handsome, with a secret sex life that shocks even Nash though she considers herself an adventurous woman; Josh, an American expatriate, who claims to be a simple gem smuggler and arouses passions in Nash she thought were long dead; and Lily Soong, an erotic Chinese beauty who men—and women—lust after, often to their doom.

But no one brings as much danger to her life as Pablo Escobar, king of the Medellín drug cartels, considered the most dangerous man in Colombia, the murder capital of the world.

Things get even more complicated when Nash's quest to clear herself takes her to Shanghai, home of the powerful Chinese Triads that control the flow of dirty money from gambling, prostitution, drugs and murder.
Refusing to let the cartel's murderers drive her off the plantation and ruin the lives of hundreds of families who work it, Nash tackles organized crime and police agencies on two continents to save her plantation . . . and stay alive.

Über Harold Robbins

Sexo, drogas y poder. Tres palabras que componen su ADN y que le hicieron millonario. Harold Robbins (1916-1997) decía haber experimentado todos los vicios que describe en sus libros. Decía también que era el mejor haciendo su trabajo, aunque se confesaba admirador de John Steinbeck, James T. Farrell o Irving Wallace. Su capacidad de inventiva le llevó incluso a construir un relato ficticio de su propia vida: aseguraba compartir identidad con Francis Kane, el protagonista de su primera obra, No amarás a un extraño (1948). La escribió para ganar una apuesta: trabajaba en las oficinas de Universal Studios en Nueva York y quiso demostrar que era capaz de escribir una novela que superara las que pasaban por sus manos. Cincuenta años de carrera y 750 millones de ejemplares vendidos de sus más de 20 títulos le dieron la razón.
El éxito de sus historias llegó hasta la gran pantalla. Muchas de sus novelas han tenido versión cinematográfica, como Los insaciables, El precio del placer o Un guijarro para Danny Fisher (1952), su obra más valorada.
