An eerie and offbeat mystery by a Kafka Prize–winning author.
The case confronting Lieutenant Gregory is not one that a man of Scotland Yard would expect. In fact, it is not one any sane man would care to entertain. Bodies are disappearing. The initial assumption is that a grave robber is roaming London and defiling local morgues. But upon further examination, it seems the deceased are, in fact, resurrecting.
As Gregory stumbles his way through the tangled clues, seeking advice from scientific, philosophical, and theological experts alike, he finds himself tossed into a baffling metaphysical puzzle of incomprehensible truths and unbelievable realities.
Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as “closer to Kafka than the police precinct house, ” Lem’s intelligent and puzzling foray into the mystery genre offers an appealing combination of disturbance and delight.
