The Book of Malachi

Malachi Dakwaa is mute and utterly disconnected from human beings when he gets an extraordinary job offer. In exchange for six months as warder on a topsecret organ farming project, Frasier Pharmaceuticals will graft a new tongue for him. Malachi takes the deal.

Far out to sea, he finds himself among war lords and mass murderers of the kind who maimed him and murdered his family.

But are the prisoners as evil as Frasier says? Do they deserve their fate?

As doubt starts to grow, Malachi is faced with a terrible dilemma. Must he leave them to this medical nightmare or risk his life and set them free?

Malachi may have no tongue, but his voice is one readers will never forget – sharply ironic, vividly descriptive and leavened with humour. He is a compelling guide through the twists and turns of this novel, a gripping thriller with a speculative twist.
