Eight books that explore the Amazon

Erica Ferencik's new novel is Into the Jungle.

At CrimeReads she tagged eight favorite books that explore the world's most awe-inspiring jungle, including:
The Lost City of Z, A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon, David Grann

David Grann tells the story of British explorer Percy Fawcett’s 1925 ill-fated journey to find a lost civilization in the Amazon with a novelist’s skill for suspense and intrigue. Since Fawcett’s journey, countless others have attempted the same trek, many of them swallowed by the jungle itself, or captured by tribes. Crammed with vivid detail and stunning descriptions of the perils and wonders of the Amazon jungle, this book will transport you—from the comfort of your chair—into the jungle’s “green hell.”
