Jupiter's Bones (Paperback, New Ed)

Dr Emil Ganz was a remarkable man. As a physicist whose theories of cosmology entranced society, he vanished at the height of his fame to re-emerge as Jupiter, the leader of a bizarre sect that specialized in a mixture of mysticism and mathematics. Before his death the sect was regarded as a dangerous magnet for the credulous and the damaged. But Ganz has committed suicide - or has he? The cult is on the brink of being destabilized, with a savage battle to succeed him underway. Lieutenant Peter Decker who is endeavouring to uncover exactly what has happened to the scientist, realizes that Ganz's death may lead to a massacre of horrendous proportions. Kellerman is always adroit at channelling the current fears of society into a gripping thriller narrative and as a study of the psychopathology of cults, this is one to rank with such earlier Kellerman books as Serpent's Tooth and Prayers for the Dead. (Kirkus UK)

Emil Ganz was always extraordinary. Child genius. Prize-winning astrophysicist. And then, aged 40, missing person. A decade later he re-emerges as Jupiter, guru of an apocalyptic new age cult, bringing shame on his family, worrying local parents and intriguing Detective Pete Decker. But when he's found dead, apparently from an overdose, the consequences of his death are even more extraordinary, and terrifying, than of his life ...
