Wisp

Constance Tonge, BSc 1992

Microbiologist Ben has begun seeing things he can’t understand. Are they visions, dreams, or drug-induced hallucinations? Or is his subconscious trying to tell him something? When he becomes a target of media interest, he realizes that something odd is happening in the Wee Grey City. With psychiatrist, Minnie, an old friend, and Jake, a new friend and magician, he tries to find out what is going on in the half-light between reality and imaginings, politics, and a haunted past. Dangerous forces are ranged against them as they uncover a fiendish crime against humanity. If they don’t act immediately, people will die. But what can ivory-tower academics do against government and military authority? And can they do it in time?
