Title: Pools Within the Mind
Description: "When freelance investigator Michaela Dene is asked by the Pennine Pensions and Assurance Company to assist in the preparations for celebrating the company's centenary she little realises just what she is taking on. The task might seem a relatively simple one - locate the oldest living beneficiary of the pension scheme so that he can, as guest of honour, present bonus cheques to the present employees of the company at a special ceremony. But 'Micky' Dene soon discovers she has opened a can of worms, and all is not as it seems. For a start, the person in question, a certain P.A. Fleming, is over ninety, but has never drawn a single penny of the payments from his annuity. Moreover, it appears that he still remains in full control of his 'business' - the Fleming Institute, renowned for its work on reproductive science - and personally supervises its day-to-day running."

"The implications of Micky's discoveries are disturbing, to say the least, and nothing is straightforward. Plunging down many blind alleys, yet never losing the trail, she leads the reader on an intriguing adventure in an attempt to unravel a tantalisingly elusive mystery. What is finally revealed turns out to be stranger and more truly awesome than anyone expects or imagines."--Jacket.
