The thrilling conclusion to the James Westbrook and Eleanor Reed Mysteries
Burma, 1881. When cryptographer James Westbrook, physician Eleanor Reed, and Inspector Sullivan receive simultaneous invitations to investigate tropical fevers in Britain's far eastern empire, they recognize the coordinated deception immediately. Their previous encounters with the presumed-dead Lord Blackwood taught them to expect the impossible.But nothing could prepare them for what awaits in the steaming jungles of Burma, where British petroleum operations conceal a darker purpose. Missing doctors, enhanced colonial soldiers, and whispered rumors of a perfect formula lead the trio deeper into a conspiracy that threatens not just the Empire, but the very nature of human evolution.
As they navigate treacherous river passages and ancient villages, Eleanor's medical expertise, James's analytical mind, and Sullivan's determination will be tested like never before. In a land where traditional healers guard secrets older than empires and the line between evolution and exploitation blurs, some discoveries carry a price too terrible to imagine.
The enemy they thought dead has found a way to remake humanity itself. But when the choice comes between saving those you love and stopping an unthinkable transformation, what sacrifice is too great?
From the cipher mysteries of Crimea to the cartographic deceptions of Egypt, the James Westbrook and Eleanor Reed Mysteries reach their explosive conclusion in a tale where the greatest enemy may be the promise of perfection itself.
