Assam 1951: When Dr Bob Irvine and his wife, Lydia, leave post-war Britain for a new life on a remote tea estate in India, they expect heat, monsoons, and medical challenges - not espionage. But the moment they meet Dan, the enigmatic plantation manager, and his wife, Katy, the atmosphere shifts. Something is simmering beneath the surface of this quiet colonial outpost. What begins as a series of strange accidents soon escalates into something far darker. Whispers of communist infiltration drift across the tea fields. Rumours of disappearances echo from behind the Iron Curtain. And when murder strikes, Bob and Lydia realise they have stumbled into a deadly game - one that reaches far beyond Assam. Caught between loyalty and survival, truth and deception, Bob and Lydia must navigate a tightening web of lies before the Cold War claims them as collateral.
Inspired by real letters from the author's father, A Tea Doctor in Assam blends crime, espionage, and historical drama into a gripping Cold War thriller - perfect for readers who love atmospheric mysteries and high-stakes intrigue.
