Her work life is uneventful until trouble arises in the form of a predatory colleague. To forestall any disruption of business-as-usual, Jungle makes Yona a proposition: a paid "vacation" to the desert island of Mui. But Yona must pose as a tourist and assess whether Jungle should continue their partnership with the unprofitable destination. Yona travels to the remote island, whose major attraction is an underwhelming sinkhole, a huge disappointment to the customers who've paid a premium. Soon Yona discovers the resort's plan to fabricate a catastrophe in the interest of regaining their good standing with Jungle--and the manager enlists Yona's help. Yona must choose between the callous company to whom she's dedicated her life, or the possibility of a fresh start in a powerful new position. As she begins to understand the cost of the manufactured disaster, Yona realizes that the lives of Mui's citizens are in danger--and so is she. 650 0 $a Dark tourism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Travel agents $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tourism $x Employees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tourism $z Korea (South) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islands $z Vietnam $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Vietnam $x Description and travel $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Black humor. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Buehler, Lizzie, $e translator. 941 $a 6 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021746.0 952 $l CLPC792 $d 20220702010505.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021304.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010632.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20201002010516.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200828010114.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0DA2170E8F311EAA33DDD052EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
