search of the elusive Carabus. On his quest, he encountered some of
the most bizarre and wonderful creatures imaginable as he trekked
through the island's rugged interior, battling the elements and his
innermost fears. What he could never have known was that the
outcome had already been written, and as the cloud of mystery
cleared he was forced to accept a shocking but irrefutable truth...
