A Faint Cold Fear

In New York Ray Douglas, chief of the narcotics division, is too successful, too outspoken. When he criticizes the decisions of his superiors once too often he is summarily exiled to South America, his career broken, as liaison with the DEA there, a job that doesn’t exist. Reporter Jane Fox, meanwhile begs her superiors to send her there. Colombia is a place of bombings, kidnappings and murderous traffickers richer than the government. Too dangerous for a woman, she is told. She sees it as the story that can make her career, she fights and gets the job. In Bogota, despite their differing agendas, the two meet and are thrown together, while all around them the violence goes on.
