About this ebook

Capturing one of their enemies Sue and Sam interrogate him and are almost killed when he escapes. However the information allows Sue to work out how the Changels were almost caught previously.
Unfortunately their effort to dispel the mystery of the original house fire is intercepted by the Administration and used against the Changel's families. Anticipated at each turn the Changels are almost caught. At the same time the Bruderschaft is using the distraction to launch a new plague.
Driven into a corner the Changels are ultimately left with no option but to fight.

Peter King

Peter King (b. 1922) is an English author of mystery fiction, a Cordon Bleu–trained chef, and a retired metallurgist. He has operated a tungsten mine, overseen the establishment of South America’s first steel processing plant, and prospected for minerals around the globe. His work carried him from continent to continent before he finally settled in Florida, where he led the design team for the rocket engines that carried the Apollo astronauts to the moon. In his spare time, King wrote one-act plays and short mystery stories. When he retired, in 1991, he wrote his first novel, The Gourmet Detective, a cozy mystery about a chef turned sleuth who solves mysteries in the kitchen. King followed it with seven more books starring the character, including Dying on the Vine (1998) and Roux the Day (2002). In 2001 he published Jewel of the North, the first of three historical mysteries starring Jack London. King lives in Sarasota, Florida.
