| Summary |
"'Writers are a type of murderer - dismissing characters here, killing them off there!' So says private detective Daniel Hunter, who wakes to find himself in a futuristic, constantly-changing four-storey building called 'The Complex', with virtually all his recent memories gone and in his pocket only a strange gun and a list of bizarre clues to a murder. Convinced that by deciphering the clues he will both solve the murder and escape the Complex, Daniel, together with similarly-lost Mimi O'Ryan, puzzles his way down through the changing levels of the Complex, increasingly startled by corresponding changes in his own appearance and personality - until finally he questions not only his attitude to the murder and the Complex but also his very identity."--Back cover |
