        The Mystery of Madam Yin

        by Nathan Winters

        Inspector Celeste Summersteen is leaving Chicago to travel to London with young Dorothea Ellingsford. It may seem that she is merely accompanying the girl back to her family, whereas her real task is much more precarious: one of Dorothea’s friends was murdered and Celeste has to find the murderer and protect Dorothea, who now appears to be in danger herself. When the corpse of the opium queen of the East End, Madame Yin, is found in the river Thames, Celeste is drawn deep into the hidden parts of society. She gets support from Inspector Edwards, who at the beginning does everything but helping her.

When he goes on his annual diving holiday to Makating - a luxury resort in Malaysia - he meets beautiful employee Darlene and falls in love with her. He spontaneously decides to accompany Darlene to a jungle expedition, to look for her missing brother. The latter had spent some time by the Luft people, one of the last tribes of the virgin forest, who also vanished without a trace. On the expedition, Matthias will soon discover that the timber mafia is destroying the jungle piece by piece through extensive slash-and- burn practices and that it has Borneo’s economy and politics firmly under its control. Appalled by this, he promises the Penan people, another threatened tribe, that he will buy a piece of the jungle for them to survive. Shortly afterwards, a stranger steels all the satellite phones of the expedition participants, who therefore lose their only connection to the civilised world. A short while later, Darlene will also go missing. Day by day, the group’s situation becomes more and more hopeless, but Matthias is driven by his wild hope to find Darlene…
