Beschreibung

Another captivating pair of mystery and suspense stories from prize-winning author Joslyn Chase.
Tickling The Tiger
A young doctor, part of an elite medical task force, sets a course for adventure in Bangladesh, where she faces the harsh realities of a killer disease.
And the human element aiding and abetting it.
Virulent germs, natural disaster, and the murder of a Hindu priest combine to make Dr. Elizabeth Mason’s first tour of duty more than she bargained for.
But just what she needs.

Song of The Gondolier
He spends his days in breathtaking vistas, charming wealthy passengers with his songs and collecting fat tips.
Until the bottom fell out of his world.
What happens when a desperate man finds himself with an appalling choice to make? How does he square it with himself?
And if the choice proves fatal, how does he tell his story?
Hold on tight for this backwards-told-tale of a nice man in a nasty position and how his life hangs—literally—in the balance.

Tickling the Tiger

Bangladesh, October 1974

The monster came for him in the night. Narayan felt a thousand tongues of fire lash open the flesh on his arms and legs. His face was kissed by the red demon, again and again, each touch raising a welt that throbbed and grew until his head was a blazing mass of pain. Screaming and thrashing, he called for the Cooling One, praying through cracked lips for her to hurry. His swollen eardrums itched with the echoes of monstrous, profane laughter and he was nearly enveloped in despair when, at last, he saw her. She was riding the white donkey, carrying the broom, with the blessed pitcher of vanquishing water cradled against one hip. The demon paused in his obscene whirling, snarling deep in his throat as the woman approached. He spun toward Narayan, enveloping him in a suffocating embrace, then raised the red-hot killing knife and plunged it home.

Narayan’s dying scream was his awakening. He lay panting in the sweat-soaked cot. Streaks of pain slashed through his skull and his tongue drooped, a desiccated thing, from slack lips. He stumbled to the washroom. In the dark, he knew where to find the bowl of tepid water. Splashing and slurping, he assuaged the burning torment and stood trembling, held up by the rickety table, to catch his breath. Shaking hands lit the flickering lamp and he carried it to the square of mirrored tile plastered on the rough wall of his hut. Leering shadows danced in time to his faltering steps, adding to his terror. He knew what his reflection would tell him. Fever, headache, vivid dreams. Everyone in the village knew what these meant; they awaited the ominous portents with dread. Lifting the lamp, he peered at the red splotched face staring in horror from the cracked tile, and saw. The nightmare was real.

The monster had come.

“It doesn’t present like a typical case, but I’m afraid the major elements are here.”
