A disturbing mystery awaits Paul and Jane Sinclair when they arrive in Eden-Olympia, a high-tech business park in the hills above Cannes. Jane is set to work as a doctor for the executives who live in this ultra-modern workers' paradise. But what caused her apparently sane predecessor to set out one morning and murder ten people in a killing spree which made headlines around the world? As Paul investigates his new surroundings, he begins to uncover a thriving subculture of crime that is spiralling out of control.
Both a novel of ideas and a compelling thriller that will keep you turning the pages to the shocking denouement, this is an extraordinary work of fiction from the bestselling author of Empire of the Sun, Cocaine Nights and Crash.

J.G. Ballard was born in 1930 in Shanghai, China, where his father was a businessman. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Ballard and his family were placed in a civilian prison camp. They returned to England in 1946. After two years at Cambridge, where he read medicine, Ballard worked as a copywriter and Covent Garden porter before going to Canada with the RAF. He started writing short stories in the late 1950s, while working on a scientific journal.
His first major novel, The Drowned World was published in 1962. His acclaimed novels include The Crystal World, The Atrocity Exhibition, Crash (filmed by David Cronenberg). High-Rise, The Unlimited Dream Company, Empire of the Sun, The Kindness of Women, Cocaine Nights, Super-Cannes, Millennium People and, most recently, Kingdom Come.
