Hambly, Barbara Fever Season
Bantam May 4, 1999 0-553-57527-9 / 9780553575279 Paperback Very Good
Learned black surgeon Benjamin January returns from his debut as protagonis t in A Free Man of Color (1997) to utilize his considerable skills in a gra phic and compelling story based on events that transpired in 1834. The Pari s-trained physician, still grieving for his recently deceased wife, is back in New Orleans after a 16-year absence and his now treating the victims of a raging cholera epidemic. But his position at Charity Hospital is precari ousAaccepted in his own mixed-race society, he is scorned by most whites. N ow, even in the chaotic mayhem of an epidemic, January becomes aware of a d isturbing fact: free people of color are disappearing. Are they dying? Are they being abducted to be resold as slaves? Although chronically fatigued f rom his multiple occupations (he gives piano lessons to eke out his income) and the demands of his eccentric family, he nonetheless manages to begin a discreet investigation that will involve some unique and idiosyncratic ind ividuals including street people, con men and aristocrats. He even forms an unlikely alliance with a coarse, yet astute, white police lieutenant. Janu ary's queries are further complicated by the disappearance of his friend Co ra, who may be implicated in theft and murder. Complex in plotting, rich in atmosphere and written in powerful, lucid prose, this compelling mystery h olds its secrets until a horrifying, compelling finale.
