The Secret of Anatomy

David Fox, fast approaching his fortieth birthday, is in the throes of a mid-life crisis—going nowhere, no purpose in life... Until one day, whilst walking on the beach, he comes across a message in a bottle, washed up at his feet.

The message, written in 1953, is from a boy called John Marshall who claims his father is trying to kill him. David feels compelled to find out what happened to the boy all those years ago—and so he sets off to discover the truth. But the truth is more bizarre than anything he could ever have imagined.

His investigations lead him to a secret society, called the Flux, each of whose members has a unique and awesome secret which the Flux holds at its core. David soon realises that the Flux are merely pawns: unwitting participants in a process started centuries ago that has brought mankind to the very brink of destruction...

From one of Britain's most talented and highly acclaimed horror writers, The Secret of Anatomy is Mark Morris's most powerful and original book to date.
