"Seemingly scatter-brained maths prof reads the weird Amphitryon writings of a druggy husband held for murder and comes to his own conclusions. Dogged computer wizardry, the dead woman's sexual voracity and mud-caked shoes lead to a priceless, buried, artefact and a nasty showdown over 1970s atrocities. Cory composes his mythical mosaic with stunning literacy." - John Coleman, THE SUNDAY TIMES |

Filename: 1993 THE MASK OF ZEUS hb stmartins.jpg
In Desmond Cory's The Mask of Zeus, Professor John Dobie is sent into exile by those of his friends and colleagues still reeling from his exploits in The Catalyst, he arrives on the Isle of Aphrodite (better known as Cyprus) prepared to induct his new students into the Mysteries of Higher Mathematics. But the local gods have a shock or two in store for him, starting with the fact that his predecessor at the school, a former student of Dobies, has been murdered.. "A bit of a ditherer is professor Dobie, a Bertie Wooster with brains, bumbling about quizzing suspects, until in true mathematical style he can cry eureka. Despite its jokey style, there is a serious side to the book, delving into the politics and atrocities of the civil war" - Hamish Whyte. SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY |
