Opis

Dr. William Sarsfield has impressed a world renowned professor during his lecture in London. The older professor, John Arthur Cowdry, invites William to leave his position at the hospital and join him in the tropical paradise of Barbados to complete the final stages of his research. The professor has invented a device that slows cell aging dramatically and many are eager to steal this secret of near eternal youth. But what's the real reason behind this sudden move to the island with all of his equipment and his many cats. Why are they being pursued by a spy from the defeated German army? He has many secrets that he's kept from William. But then one of the doctors is murdered and the corrupt Inspector James Templeton spitefully arrests the other for the crime. An ingenious plot to escape from prison is executed and a race to clear his name and secure the valuable anti aging secret takes the suspense all the way to the final page.
