Summary

George Surridge, director of the Birmington Zoo, is a man with many worries: his marriage is collapsing; his finances are insecure; and an outbreak of disease threatens the animals in his care. As Surridge's debts mount and the pressure on him increases, he begins to dream of miracle solutions. But is he cunning enough to turn his dreams into reality - and could he commit the most devious murder in pursuit of his goals?

This ingenious crime novel, with its unusual 'inverted' structure and sympathetic portrait of a man on the edge, is one of the greatest works by this highly respected author.

Different take on a detective mystery ... would make a terrific modern film
Gets a bit weak when it comes to the ending and the loose ends are tied up too quickly but doesn’t spoil things too much. Griffins narrative excellent

Interesting inside out story
