"Jaguar," by Joseph Wallace, in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, September/October 2014.
I will be writing about the structure of this story on Wednesday at Sleuthsayers. Book your tickets now.
Plotwise, this is the story of Ana, who is a rainforest tour guide in Belize. She meets a wealthy American tourist who may be able to get her out of a bad home situation. But there is more going on than appears at first. And since the story alternates between Belize and New York City (that structure thing I mentioned) you get to see cause and effect scrambled together very nicely.
