Product Description
by Christopher Bryan (Author)
Christopher Bryan's third fantasy-mystery novel continues the investigations of Detective Inspector Cecilia Cavaliere. Now married, Cecilia and Anglican priest Michael Aarons are living in a Victorian rectory on the outskirts of Exeter, together with their precocious 3-year-old daughter, a dog, two cats, and the occasional wasp. In nearby Edgestow the huge new United Nations Institute for Technological Experimentation and Development (U.N.I.T.E.D.) is being set up, and Cecilia is called on to take temporary charge of police operations in the area. When it appears that there is a link between U.N.I.T.E.D. and the deaths of illegal immigrants, Cecilia and her colleague DS Verity Jones must visit the U.N.I.T.E.D. complex to make inquiries. On their arrival events soon get out of control. They find themselves involved in a violent and dangerous computer game, based on Cecilia's family history and devised for his own benefit by an egomaniac who feels called on to live beyond morality and for ever. "... another well-written, enjoyable mystery." - Kirkus Reviews
