The Dark Web is the sequel to THE SAND TRAP. The novel starts as Melanie McDougal plays her last tournament in the TOUR CHAMPIONS tour. Her subsequent retirement at the "Folly" is interrupted by a contract to travel to Belize to build a new golf course and to neighbouring Guatemala to assist in the recovery of a kidnapped 15 year old Canadian girl. The recovery assignment turns into a mission to disrupt an international drug and pornography ring operating from a girls private school near the Tikal Mayan ruins. Melanie partners with undercover Guatemalan agents and the kidnapped girl's 16 year old First Nation boyfriend to confront a Guatemalan grandfather. With the assistance of the local Indigenous group, they face Mexican drug gangs, corrupt officials and the Guatemalan jungle in order to bring the girl home to her single mother in Calgary.
