About this book
A pharmacologist is sent from a Minnesota laboratory into the Brazilian Amazon to find out how a colleague died and what became of the brilliant, unreachable scientist running a secretive drug trial deep in the jungle. The river journey strips away her certainties one by one, and the research station she finally reaches operates by rules she is not invited to question. Humid, unhurried and quietly suspenseful, the novel sets ethical argument against overwhelming landscape, with a cast of researchers, guides and villagers whose loyalties never resolve into anything simple.
