Mystery
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE TROUBLES TRILOGY AND DETECTIVE
SEAN DUFFY NOVELS
Colonial New
Guinea—1906: a small group of mostly German nudists
live an extreme back-to-nature existence on the remote
island of Kabakon. Eating only coconuts and bananas, they
purport to worship the sun. One of their members—Max
Lutzow—has recently died, allegedly from malaria. But an
autopsy on his body in the nearby capital of Herbertshöhe
raises suspicions about foul play.
Retired British
military police officer Will Prior is recruited to
investigate the circumstances of Lutzow’s death. At first,
the eccentric group seems friendly and willing to cooperate
with the investigation. They all insist that Lutzow died of
malaria. Despite lack of evidence for a murder, Prior is
convinced that the group is hiding something.
Things come to a head during a late-night feast supposedly
given as a send-off for the visitors before they return to
Herbertshöhe. Prior fears that the intent of the
“celebration” is not to fete the visitors but to make them
the latest murder victims.
