Book description
When young magazine journalist Ashley Reeves receives an intriguing
letter he leaves his London office in the hope of reporting on an
unusual species of insect - the Ganges Red. That evening he arrives on
Aries Island and encounters the writer of the letter - Reginald
Mather.
At first Mather seems no more than an eccentric collector, happy to
live in isolation on the island. But when Reeves unearths the horrific
truth he finds himself thrown headlong into a macabre nightmare that
quickly spirals out of control. His life is in danger . . . and Mather
is not his only enemy . . .
Both gruesome and compelling, chilling and page-turning, this
much-anticipated thriller from Dean Vincent Carter will delight older readers.
