Bernie Quist is a consulting detective in the city of York. His assistant, Watson, a black teenager from Grimpen housing estate, is learning the role of assistant, which seems to involve making coffee, getting threatened by rotweillers and skinheads, and very little glamour. There have been two deaths by violence: a birdwatcher whose throat was ripped out, and a young woman who apparently carried her handbag to the train track and laid down on the rails. But the second woman was a researcher in the first woman's pharmaceuticals research lab. Then there's a third death: another person from the research lab. Quist and Watson are joined by a third man, Rex Grant, who acts like a 007 agent but whose story doesn't add up. The three find the fourth lab assistant, the last one alive, and hear a story about lab research that doesn't make sense: among the problems, they were to develop a sun screen that screened out the wrong rays from the sun. Other things that don't make sense begin turning up, like bodies drained of blood, bodies that look like they'd been slashed by giant claws |
