"Marie Cadieux is so vividly imagined that I'm already excited for her next adventure! Gripping, skilfully evoked, beautifully written. Strongly Recommend." Caroline Cauchi

Paris, 1889. Marie Cadieux has escaped one conspiracy only to find herself trapped in another.

Married to the much older Victor Roleau, Marie moves through Parisian high society like a woman who has everything: wealth, status, beauty and influence. But behind the gilded doors of lavish salons, her life is a prison built on obedience.

Victor believes he owns her.

The U.S. government knows better.

Marie is an artist. A wife. And an undercover spy.

When America sends her to Panama, Marie is ordered into the heart of the most dangerous engineering project on Earth. The French Canal is collapsing under corruption, disease and death — and if the United States is to claim its future, the French effort must fail.

Marie's mission is sabotage.

But the Fever Coast is filled with dangers no one can control. A brilliant young doctor offers her a chance at passion and escape. Two determined detectives close in, ready to expose her crimes. And Charlie Blaine, the mentor who made her what she is, returns with secrets of his own.

In a jungle where men are buried by the hundreds, Marie must decide what she is willing to sacrifice — her duty, her freedom, or her heart.

Because on the Fever Coast, people go there and they die.

Perfect for fans of historical adventure, espionage, forbidden romance and fearless heroines, Marie Cadieux and the Fever Coast is a thrilling standalone adventure in the Marie Cadieux series.
