Jincan Antidote
My latest time travel novel was published in June 2021. And what is it about, you might wonder. Think 1844, Macau, and the South China Sea filled with pirates that hold bitter long-standing grudges. Here is the back-of-the-book description.
“A vengeful Chinese cult murders an innocent American with jincan, a deadly Ming Dynasty poison. CIA agent Jake Chou and San Francisco writer Zoe Madison must find the antidote before the Triad strikes again.
Zoe and Jake travel to modern-day Hong Kong in search of the remedy, only to stumble through a portal that leads them back in time to Macau 1844, a lawless opium-fueled world.
They seek the infamous pirate, Madame Ching, who once owned a painting that may hold the elusive antidote. But does she still have the scroll, or has she bartered it away?
As the search for an antidote leads Zoe and Jake through battles on land and sea, they are drawn nearer to each other. But will the feelings of love and passion survive a return to the present?
Action-packed and suspense-driven, Jincan Antidote is the latest time-travel novel by international best-selling author, Pamela B. Eglinski.”
