β¦ Synopsis
Trudging through the depths of the Dark Continent, Rebecca, with the best intentions, has just made a terrible mistake. Her new husband, Geoff Ramsay, is a titled anthropologist, a handsome, bold adventurer, who persuades her to join him and his team into the Congo, ostensibly to map the prospective railway. The team's true fixation was with a tribe on the far side of Lake Victoria. Determined to win back her husband's heart, she agreed, only to discover what truly separated them was for Rebecca to indulge his darkest fantasy. Could she convince him to break his addiction to the red colored drug, and abandon his fascination with death rituals before it was too late for her? Could she return alone, thousands of miles from his nightmare and attempt to shake herself from the consequences of this mistake? How damaged must she become to discover who manipulated the conspiracy surrounding the deaths of those who came before her and protect herself and those she loves from revenge?
This was no journey that should have been undertaken by a well-bred English lady. Rebecca unravels the mystery behind the death of her husband's colleague, only to discover Geoff's frightening intentions for her so far from civilization. Not only must she solve a murder while averting her own, but then she must make her way back to England and confront what she has become to survive. But the conspirators were not done with her yet.
