<DIV><B>An eerie and offbeat mystery by a Kafka Prize&ndash;winning author.</B><BR /><BR /> 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.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> 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.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Hailed by <I>Kirkus Reviews</I> as &ldquo;closer to Kafka than the police precinct house,&rdquo; Lem&rsquo;s intelligent and puzzling foray into the mystery genre offers an appealing combination of disturbance and delight.</DIV>
