SYNOPSIS:
      John Rowan Wilson's novel is the breathtakingly tense story of a medical drama which reaches its startling climax on the remote island of Batou, off the west coast of Africa. On the island a brilliant young scientist, Martin Farrell, had been using a "double blind" to test his vaccine against a dread tropical disease, encephalitis. His success could mean a new way of life for thousands of primitive people.But when two of Dr. Farrell's "test" patients died, apparently of encephalitis, the British Colonial Office sent Dr. Peter Mayne, once Farrell's closest friend, to investigate the experiment. For both men it was a strange and fateful meeting. Martin, a bitter fanatic, believed that Mayne had been sent out not to assess the situation but to censure him. Peter Mayne had spent ten years trying to forget that he was in love with Martin Farrell's wife.When another death shattered the island's uneasy calm, Peter was forced to demand that the experimenters break the blind. But even as the pressures of human love, jealousy, and ambition swept the two doctors into a final conflict, fate itself brought their struggle to a surprising-and violent-conclusion.
