DISCIPLES

From the author of the lost masterpiece 'Tony and Susan' comes a deeply intelligent and utterly thrilling novel about a kidnapped baby, a religious cult, and our collective need for gurus and gods, whether sacred or profane. Harry Field is an elderly professor looking after his baby granddaughter. He allows Oliver, the child's absentee father, to take her to the park. Only too late do Harry and his daughter Judy realise that the child has fallen into the hands of the cult to which Oliver belongs, a group led by Miller, a dangerous man who claims to be God. An edge-of-the-seat 'metaphysical thriller'. 338pp, paperback.
