Synopsis

Lynx-eyed, he looked more devil than man That was Rebel Storm's first--and lasting--impression of Luiz Manchete, self-appointed king of the Amazon jungle. Appropriately, the natives called him Curupira, the wild man. Rebel wanted to do anthropological research in the heart of the jungle--a venture that Luiz savagely opposed. She refused to take no for an answer... then suddenly found herself caught between primitive head-hunting natives and the equally dangerous Curupira!
