People changed; they were no longer recognisable
as Australians. Frustrations and misfortunes festered into wounds
here, deranged the mind and poisoned the blood.
Suicide, or murder? Newly arrived in Papua,
where even the luscious vegetation conspires with the bureaucrats
to bewilder her, Stella Warwick is determined to prove her husband
did not take his own life. Defying the patronising concern of
officials, she ventures deep into the jungle, striding ever clser
to the horrifying heart of the mystery.
This might easily scare you out of your
wits. Extremely well-handled mystery, authentic horror and atmosphere
that closes in like jungle heat. San Francisco
Chronicle
