In Too Deep (2000)
“A strip of cloth that smelled sharply of oil and sweat had been used to gag her. Her stomach rolled over at the repugnant stench. Another rag had been tied around her head as a blindfold.

She had felt exuberant and content as she had contemplated watching the spectacle of a glorious sunrise from the pyramid.MoreLess
