Mystery
Busy putting in stitches and bandaging lumberjacks'
injuries, young Dr. Thomas Parks has no idea that his worst
enemy is lurking in the sleepy village of Port McKinney in
the spring of 1892. When one of the working girls at the
Clarissa Hotel is brought to the Clinic desperately ill,
Thomas's newly arrived associate wastes no time in making
the diagnosis—Asian Cholera has somehow found this back
water near Puget Sound. The cholera strikes viciously and
kills in days, sometimes even hours. It soon becomes
apparent that Thomas and his clinic have neither the
supplies nor the means to provide effective treatment for
the outbreak, and in hours, they are swamped. Afraid for the
safety of his wife and daughter and all those close to him,
Thomas still is driven by professional curiosity about the
contagion's origins, especially when it appears that one of
his own nurses is in some way responsible. Before he can
mount a truly effective defense, the battle spreads,
threatening the very life of the village.Always a man driven
by his own curiosities and ambitions, Thomas discovers that
his greatest allies are those closest to him. Comes a Time
for Burning is the second in the Dr. Thomas Parks adventure
series of historical novels, following the recent release of
Race for the Dying.
