A Deadly
Shade of Green
by P.
Willis-Pitts
Replace the atom of magnesium in a molecule of chlorophyll with an atom of
iron and you get red blood--this scientific fact inspired the book A
Deadly Shade of Green. Peter and Miranda move into an old California
Mission. Towering over the Mission is a vast Tree of unknown species that
exerts a hypnotic effect on the couple. Events gather momentum when a series
of murders occurs and Miranda is the prime suspect. Both Peter and his
friend Miya are almost killed and Miranda becomes pregnant, her fetus
poisoned. Finally, Peter employs fire, flood, and native cunning to combat
this primordial enemy...
