    As the result of a run-in with the law, struggling American writer William Sydney Porter chose to make a dash for the border in 1896. During the several months he spent in Honduras, Porter had enough time on his hands to begin exploring his talent for writing, which up until then had been merely a hobby.

The Danger Mark follows the ups and downs of an orphaned twin whose hedonistic tendencies may prove to be her downfall
