The Sins of the Father

Alarm spread quickly as these and nine other criminals absconded from their top-security prisons. There were those, like Canon John Austin and Professor Adrian Bedburn, who were in the midst of a campaign for sympathetic treatment of the mentally distressed and urging penal reform. There were others who regarded the escaped convicts as threats to society 'as lethal as time bombs'; and others still, like the prominent bacteriologist Sir Marcus Levin, who began to trace, in the wake of each escape, the overall design of some sinister intelligence and an unthinkable threat to the unsuspecting public.
John Blackburn unravels, in this macabre thriller, the dark intricacies of a bizarre form of evil as it holds even its boldest opponents under a siege of terror.
