Description:

'... one of the best thrillers I've read in a long, long time... provides enough mysteries, clues, red herrings and twists and turns to last a life time.' John Wilson, Editor, Writer's Workshop. Roger Peerson is a savant with extraordinary powers of mathematical calculation. But he pays a price for his talent. Under stress his mind fractures into alternative personalities, sometimes even changing his memories. People and events blur between his imagination and reality. It becomes clear that something too terrible for his mind to let surface has happened. In this weakened state, he is recruited by a criminal organisation determined to exploit his gifts for their own nefarious ends. But the Ministry of Defence won't be letting one of their prize cryptographers be taken away from them that easily. Roger slowly comes to realise the awful truth about his recent, tragic past and the part played by the MoD and the criminals who have recruited him. But the killer who recruited Roger is closing in.
