Songs in a Box

This time the enemy is human.On a trip to spread his Grampys ashes in the Amazon John Lockjaw Smith finds love and a renewed sense of purpose in the person of Willa Vernon a lady haunted by her past association with a group of eugenic maniacs.On the return trip they add a passenger. She is a delightfully unique ninety-year-old hyperactive child with eyes like a jaguar muscles like a howler monkey and the mind of the Savant. She names herself Dorothy after the fictional balloon traveler to a place called Oz.Dorothy knows the world only from stories yet she is the only person alive with the ability to save the world from Willas old employers. She has thirty days to solve a puzzle.The maniacs have a head start of more than a century. Its not fair. Poor maniacs. Oh well. A little mass murder could even the playing field again.
