The Rose of Socorro

About the Book

The International Botanical Society is offering ten million dollars for a pure black rose.

Four couples, all small college professors from a eastern Pennsylvania campus, go in search of The Rose of Socorro. A high ranking Senator who is an industrialist, capitalist and multi-millionaire has a taste for the arts, and The Rose of Socorro is living art.

Sending the couples to the Isle of Socorro to procure the Black Rose is dangerous enough, but add to that Headhunters, a love sick Mountain Gorilla, a volcanic island, white water, wild dogs, swamps, grass and reeds, a giant eagle, vultures, earth quakes, crocodiles, lizard and snakes and death all around. This is not and expedition or excursion, it’s a fight for life.
