In a village outside Edinburgh, a young boy is the victim of a shocking ordeal while playing by the canal... he is attacked by a rat. The village itself is currently in turmoil over a genetically modified crop growing in a nearby field and sinister doubts are being expressed over its supposed government licence.

The Sci-Med Inspectorate send Steven Dunbar to investigate. His search for the truth soon gives rise to the horrific suspicion that the rat incident - one of several in the area - might be connected to the GM crop. Is there something in these crops that is somehow affecting the behaviour of the rats? But Steven's questions are beginning to upset some powerful operators: people who are prepared to kill to stop him...

This book was first published by Simon & Schuster Ltd. (UK) in 2001. It was the second Steven Dunbar adventure to be published in a series that currently extends to ten..

Steven is not only a qualified doctor but also an ex-Special Forces soldier who now works for the Sci-Med Inspectorate, a small unit attached to the Home Office of the UK government. It is their job to investigate possible wrong-doing in the Hi-Tech world of science and medicine.
