This was my first Ken McClure thriller and I have only words of praise.Mr. McClure is an author in every way. I understand from reading his background that he is a scientist as well and that shows in his writing. But his talents certainly extend to his writing as well.This book was published in 1996 in Great Britain, which I did not understand from the  Amazon publish date, however that should in no way be a discouragement for anyone. This is a thriller in every sense and is to me an undiscovered work by an author who is not well known in the U.S.Though I often can find ways of criticizing a book, even a good one, I have only words of praise here. The most exemplary feature of this book is simply the writing itself. The range and sophistication of the author is apparent on virtually every page. I feel as though attention to detail by a craftsman was given to every small part of the work.In my view the plot is excellent.  I did not guess the end till well towards the end. The characters were well developed and plausible. The description of the settings, of old England itself, were enjoyable and well written.Still another pleasing surprise of the book is simply the "feel" of a book written in the style of an English thriller, which is very different from most of the books on Amazon. I also really enjoyed the depth of explanation of the medical science. There was nothing scrimped on in this work.I highly recommend this novel to anyone who appreciates a well written thriller. This book should be among the best sellers.
