[Dr Steven Dunbar 04] • Gulf Conspiracy

Dr. Steven Dunbar works for Sci-Med Inspectorate, a multi-jurisdictional

agency that investigates crimes bearing on any links to the world of

science. He is therefore slightly bemused when the deathbed confession

of a convicted psychopath lands on his desk. Until it emerges that

another man has already been charged with the crime. A man whose medical

research once sent shockwaves through the scientific community. Dr.

David Little is nine years into his life sentence for the brutal rape

and murder of thirteen-year-old Julie Summers. The evidence against him

is indisputable: a perfect DNA match. When Steven is sent to Edinburgh

to confirm the hoax, amongst the confusion, incompetency and deception

that he encounters there, a new fear arises: that the confession is

true. A case that has already destroyed so many lives is forced to

reopen. Steven is determined to discover the truth, even if that

means that he must think the unthinkable and the truth when it is

finally revealed is more horrific than anyone could have imagined.
