Publisher's Synopsis
Killing Fever is a new kind of book - a historical thriller that's also a historical thrill. Historian and novelist Andy Warwick uses a mysterious death and wrongful arrest in 1857 to light the fuse on an explosive story of science, medicine, and empire. From a corpse in a dingy, London basement to the jungles of Bengal, Killing Fever builds a global history through the people who made it happen. Some are victors, some victims, but can you tell them apart?
