About the book:
Dr. Josephine Plantae Paradoxes -- The adventures of Dr. Josephine Reva, a trailblazing first woman doctor, come to life when she moonlights as a sleuth to solve ‘poison cure’ crimes.
BELLADONNA, Bitter Conduct - A 1935 Mystery Voyage
An Italian opera star spouts strange verses and collapses on a Brooklyn stage during the final act of Romeo and Juliet. Dr. Josephine Reva is in the audience and rushes to render aid.
She suspects the soprano was poisoned by Belladonna, a plant with deadly black berries.
Meanwhile, Chief Detective O’Malley uncovers fascist plots to overthrow the US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Are the two events connected, and could they spark another World War?
Josephine must use her brilliant powers of deduction and botanical poison expertise to solve this paradoxical puzzle.
She heads up the gangway of the luxurious SS Rex to follow the opera troupe to Italy. With her are her loyal patients, her brawny chauffeur (aboard on a secret mission), and a handsome would-be paramour. Is romance on the horizon for Josephine, if she can survive the trip? More murders ensue.
Who’s the killer aboard? A surreal artist and a shocking fashion designer, a cardinal and a priest carrying the relics of the first American saint, a Nazi doctor, an austere British lord, a mysterious Mussolini official, or any of the narcissistic opera divas and dons?
Josephine and her friends must hurry to solve these Belladonna crimes with deeper roots, before the ship docks in Fascist Italy and it’s too late.
