'A gorgeously entertaining, provocative book' Chicago Tribune It is
4am when the ambulance comes to take the man's wife away - although
no-one has called it, and there is nothing wrong with her. As he
sets out to find her, he finds himself in the corridors of a vast
underground hospital, where he encounters sinister medics, freakish
sexual experiments and the unmistakable feeling of being watched.
Even when he is suddenly appointed as the hospital's chief of
security, reporting to a man who thinks he is a horse, he will not
give up his search. Secret Rendezvous is a nightmarish satire of
bureaucracy, medicine and modern life. 'Reads as if it were the
collaborative effort of Hieronymus Bosch, Franz Kafka and Mel
Brooks' Chicago Sun Times
