Crimson Whisper

 In an ongoing effort to thwart the villainous Order of the Sanguine Hand, Agents Lydia Wainwright and Keilah Holliday of Her Majesty’s Bureau of Preternatural Affairs journey to the remote Congo to investigate a potential threat of unknown origin, identified only as Crimson Whisper.

Embarking upon the airship, the Grand Enterprise, they are soon beset by strange encounters, including a most unexpected attack resulting in more questions… and three corpses, fortunately not their own.

Will they be in time to foil the Order’s nefarious plans?

Or even escape the jungle alive?

Brace yourself for another harrowing Wainwright and Holliday Adventure.
