Chapter I
HER name was Abril Trujilla, and she hoped she acted, looked and sounded natural as she called, тАЬYoo
hoo! Kathy, darling, will you neglect that handsome pilot for a moment? I want to talk to you.тАЭ

тАЬOnly for a moment, dear,тАЭ said Kathy Doyle. тАЬAre you getting air-sick, angel, I hope?тАЭ

Both girls were red-headed. And they were too pretty to be friends. Their dears, honeys and darlings
weren't really nastyтАФjust a slight I-hope-you-fall-on-your-pretty-face note.

тАЬI want to whisper. Do you mind?тАЭ Abril beckoned.

Abril Trujilla actually looked like an Irish colleen. Her grandfather had been named Patrick Kelly, and he
had gone to South America, to a republic we'll call Blanca GrandeтАФBlanca Grande isn't its name, but it
must be called thatтАФwhen he was a strap of a lad. He made fifty million or so pesos in the cattle business
and married a se├▒orita. His daughter, who became Abril's mother, married Juan Trujilla, son of Blanca
Grande's other cow baron. A desirable merger. So Abril was a quarter Irish by blood, ninety-nine per
cent Irish in looks.

Kathy Doyle took the plane seat beside Abril. Kathy's name was Irish, but she wasn't. The Doyle in
Kathy's family tree had been a miser of a penny-grabbing Scotchman who had once nearly succeeded in
getting hold of all the money in Blanca Grande. тАЬWhat is it, sweet?тАЭ Kathy asked.

Abril leaned forward. Her whisper was considerably less hair-raising in tone than her words. She said, тАЬI
have located the man who is going to kill us.тАЭ
Kathy became rigid. The fear began, almost visibly, in her brain and crawled outward. тАЬOh, God,тАЭ she
said.
