The Fever Hut

Om The Fever Hut

An elusive danger lurks in Havana's barrios and alleyways ... In the summer of 1898, Duncan Cleary, a young army surgeon, is dodging bullets in the Cuban jungle. He's in a chaotic little war made worse by elderly Civil War generals and deadly tropical diseases. At the war's end, he boards a hospital ship to Havana where he finds new dangers: a bombmaker in need of a doctor, photographs of an exploding ship, and foreign officials who want the bomber and his photographs, even at the cost of kidnapping and murder. Even more disturbing is the outbreak of yellow fever. Finding its cure will end the terror of epidemic death in the Americas and bring glory to the man who does it. Walter Reed arrives in Cuba with orders to investigate the disease. Cleary works with Reed and his colleagues as they race against antiquated ideas, foreign competitors, and each other to find a cure and claim a place in history.
