ONLY THE DEAD CAN TALK

A fast-paced suspense thriller about a Nazi Doctors Trials escapee named Dr Rutt. He experimented on human babies, and the British capture him in London 50 years later, in 1997, old, accompanied by young grim footballer twins. The twins seem to resemble the lost souls of the unjust dead. The trial depends on rare adult survivors Rutt experimented on, who begin to be murdered.

College-aged boy and girl adoptees orphaned by these events will carry the cause of justice forward. They live far apart, but fly to London with crucial evidence. Rutt’s smileless footballer twins locate them. Actions and bullets follow, from a London Kensington hotel roof, to old Whitechapel streets to a tiny French islet in the English Channel at the height of a storm. Rutt’s secret hideaway in Chile, investigated, reveals a horrible secret.

This is a post-Holocaust apocalyptic look back. An offbeat, dark-humor novel where something new is happening all the time.
