Ellen King Rice delivers a mushroom-filled gallop through the dark woods of the Pacific Northwest in the epigentic thriller, The EvoAngel.
Elderly mushroom hunter Edna Morton has a health problem. She's sprouted feathers. A trip to the health clinic brings her to the attention of an ambitious and aggressive physician, Dr. Theodora Band.
Is there something in the local mushrooms that activates human DNA? Why now? Why Edna?
Edna knows which mushrooms would put an end to Dr. Band but she'd rather look at her family history and see if this has happened before. Could those stories of witches and toadstolls be aspects of evolutionary development?
There's no time to dawdle. There is a murder at the health clinic followed by the arrival of a National Security analyst who wants to learn about the ability of mushrooms to degrade sarin gas and neurotoxins. And now it looks like Edna's family may be growing feathers too. . .
