Book ID/图书代码: 12100016B89877
English Summary/英文概要: Walter Craig was a clever scientist. As a young man he took away all the honours and prizes and some of his work was ground-breaking. But after he became seriously ill, his genius faded, and he needed the help of an assistant. When Silas Webb was appointed to the job he seemed the perfect choice, but he always preferred to work alone, even in secret. Then, quite suddenly, Webb disappeared.
Why ?
Later, Craig opens a prestigious scientific journal and finds a paper, containing his own work, in detail, together with the significant results he had worked out. The research is his and his alone. But the author of the paper is Dr Silas Webb.
Craig determines that he will hunt Webb down and exact revenge.
Were it not for a terrifying twist of circumstance, he might have succeeded.

为什么?

Authentically unnerving (Tim Martin Daily Telegraph 2016-10-29)
Master of horrors ... absurdly terrifying ... Hill evokes the sense with all her customary unnerving economy - but it’s the cruelties of human interaction that give these stories, set in clubs and colleges, offices, boarding schools and suburban homes, their bite. The last, in particular, will have readers’ hearts banging at their ribs well after they have closed the book. (Imogen Russell Williams Metro 2016-10-31)
