Killing Time - Softcover
Enter the bizarre and blackly comic world of Tom, brilliant mathematician and unnerving intellectual snob. He is also a "geek" whose girlfriend Anna has disappeared. As family and friends express concern about her whereabouts we are drawn into the unique world of Tom's obsessions: 19th century science papers, Darwinism, London, sexual jealousy and virtual reality. KILLING TIME is a dark, funny and irreverent thriller which explores the tensions between science and our primitive instincts, the mind and the body, reason and madness.
