description: 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.
