By the start of that fateful summer, DI Duncan Fairfield thought he was going to breeze through his final two years and get away with retiring quietly. After three lacklustre decades as a copper, especially when compared with the legendary detection career of his father, hes actually beginning to look forward to it. Besides, not much tends to interfere with the gentle, and often alcoholic, business of policing the sleepy Middle-England town of Harkham. But then Susan Cole disappears, and Jacob Morgan goes mad. A local teacher and one of her pupils, ensnared in the same mystery; an enigma that Fairfield must now solve. When the trail leads him to the malevolent and secretive pharmaceutical company Rowcroft Medical, he discovers that more than one resident of Harkham, and indeed the world beyond, may be ensnared in an immoral research project that began decades ago with their births. It soon becomes clear that not everyone involved has the same agenda, and Rowcrofts hold on society runs deep. Soon Fairfield finds himself battling against not only their unnatural influence, but also the betrayal of some he once trusted and even the law of the land in an effort to expose the greatest of crimes. And when his enemy's talents lie in manipulation of mind and memory, can Fairfield trust even himself?
