When DC Penny Stock joins a six‑day off‑grid cattle drive, she discovers someone in the riding group is being hunted by a criminal organisation tied to human trafficking.

Meanwhile, DI Matthew Goodwin races across Argentina after a single message reaches him, pulling him into a deadly chase across one of the most isolated landscapes on earth.

Blurb

A remote landscape. A rider in danger. A killer rides beside them.

After presenting breakthrough tracking software at a high‑security conference in Buenos Aires, DI Matthew Goodwin stays behind to unwind while DC Penny Stock travels south to Patagonia for a six‑day cattle drive across one of the most remote landscapes on earth.

In Patagonia there is no signal, no data, no way to reach anyone. When Penny realises someone in their group is a target, without knowing who or which rider poses the threat, the isolation becomes its own danger. Every rider could be a suspect. Every word could be a lie.

Description

A remote wilderness. A hidden threat. A killer riding beside them.

After demonstrating her ground breaking tracking software with DI Goodwin at a security conference in Buenos Aires, DC Penny Stock heads south to Patagonia for a six‑day cattle drive. A chance to disconnect and explore one of the most isolated landscapes on earth. But once the group rides off‑grid, the trek turns deadly. Riders go missing. Accidents turn fatal. And Penny overhears a chilling truth: someone on this trip is being hunted by a criminal organisation with ties to human trafficking.

Cut off from the world, surrounded by strangers, and with no way to call for help, Penny must rely on instinct and courage to uncover who the real target is — and how to keep them alive — before the organisation’s embedded operative discovers the truth first. Back in Buenos Aires, Goodwin’s quiet holiday shatters when a single message reaches him, sending him racing across Argentina as danger closes in from both sides.

Don’t Die for Me, Argentina is a gripping international crime thriller that blends psychological tension, organised‑crime menace and the haunting isolation of Patagonia.
