In Jaguarens datter (The Jaguar’s Daughter) we rejoin our bone-whispering heroine Kit Henson after her hardships in the Vietnamese central highlands, where she learned the reason for her own near-assassination, and just barely escaped with her life.

Her mental condition has gradually worsened, but so has her gift for “seeing” past crimes in the locations where they happened. Sadly, she is now completely unemployable. Much to her surprise, the Ecuadorian national museum requests her assistance in an unusual dig: A hidden Inca cave has been located. And with it, perhaps, the fabled “Heart of Time,” a storied artefact which even sceptics claim can alter time itself.

Once again Kit is face-to-face with her arch nemesis, the White Rat, and she must choose between defeating him or rescuing the man she has come to love.

The Jaguar’s Daughter is a nerve-racking psychological thriller that investigates how much true believers will sacrifice to attain mythical power. It is the nail-bitingly exciting second part of Christian Mørk’s successful trilogy starring osteologist Kit Henson.
