Book one

The Everest Enigma

High-altitude mystery meets international espionage in this gripping thriller set in the most unforgiving environment on Earth.

When historian Abbie Bradford joins a high-profile Everest expedition led by bestselling author Emma Caulfield, she expects an adventure—just not one involving murder, betrayal, and a century-old mountaineering mystery! As tensions rise among the climbers at Base Camp, a Chinese defector with a dangerous secret is preparing to escape down the world’s highest mountain. And someone is willing to kill to stop him.

As Abbie unearths clues that connect the present-day expedition to the ill-fated 1924 climb of George Mallory, she finds herself caught in a deadly web of secrets, where the past refuses to stay buried, and the thin air offers no refuge from the truth.

Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn, Fiona Barton, and C.W. Gortner, The Everest Enigma is an atmospheric, intelligent thriller that blends real history with page-turning suspense.

Praise for The Everest Enigma

“(Fictional) journal excerpts from George Mallory, a real-world figure who experienced the mountain in the 1920s, intersect with present-day attitudes and concerns to create a moving story. Jeannette de Beauvoir pays particular attention to capturing Mallory’s ‘voice’ in these fictional representations via the letters he wrote.

Her portraits of trekking and climbing tourism realistically capture some of the issues of visitors to the area and the changes they introduce.

Libraries seeking a mystery nicely rooted in place and characters will welcome the heart-stopping confrontations and unexpected discoveries of The Everest Enigma.

Readers seeking an engrossing mystery will find that the real-world issues of Nepal that are introduced during the course of the story add value with vivid representations. These add depth to the thoroughly engrossing puzzle, making The Everest Enigma a highly recommended choice for a wide audience.”— Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
