This is a work of fiction set during the global pandemic and combines murders, grand conspiracy, a threat to world peace, fake news, grand conspiracy and of course the role played by social media.
When renowned Liverpool Professor Nakamura died of COVID-19 his distant cousin Haruto steps up to straighten out his affairs, he discovers something out of character for the old recluse.... the allegation of sexual assaults and creation of bio-weapons and espionage didn’t sit right with him. With his friend investigator Karen Anderson they set out to find the truth.
Ms. Burfitt peels the layers of her mystery in 5 sections and teases us by revealing slowly, drop by drop in multiple short chapters new information to keep us on our toes wondering what will come up next. The plot development is impressive and suitable for lovers of action. This is a riveting story that includes in parts a Transatlantic crossing on one of the most luxurious ocean liners where most of the action takes place.
The theme running through this story is the world’s vulnerability to bioterrorism where someone deliberately manufactures a lethal virus and plans to release on an unsuspecting city, in this story the target is New York City. Ms. Burfitt-Dons created a modern spin and gave us excellent characters to play different roles in. This tense drama concludes with a satisfying yet unexpected final twist one I did not see coming.
Most of all “The Secret War” is an exciting mystery to pass time with. Well done and well-said.
Thank you, Ms. Burfitt-Dons for providing a copy for my enjoyment in exchange for my honest and unbiased thoughts. ( )
