This brilliant crime novel by CWA Gold Dagger winner Peter
Dickinson is set in the Caribbean, where a researcher becomes
trapped like a rodent in a maze When it comes to his rats, David
Foxe is an expert. He decides when they eat, when they exercise,
when they take their medicine—and when they die. For the sake of
the Company, he performs all manner of experiments on his helpless
subjects, testing various drugs designed to improve the animals’
nature. After a particularly grueling series of tests, he is sent
on a working vacation to the Southward Islands. This Caribbean
paradise is ruled by the shadowy dictator Dr. Trotter, who is said
to possess demonic power and whose mother is rumored to be a witch.
Foxe may be a man of science, but he now finds himself in a world
governed by the occult. Â When a dead body is discovered in
his island laboratory, Foxe becomes the key suspect and is taken
prisoner. The only way to clear his name is to carry out
experiments on his fellow inmates. Amid radical insurgents, crazed
prisoners, and a crumbling dictatorship, Foxe must now escape this
most dangerous experiment of all.
