The Mask of Zeus

The Mask of Zeus

Winner of the Sunday Times' Best Crime novel of the year, Desmond Cory introduces us again to the offbeat world of Professor John Dobie. Sent into exile by those of his friends and colleagues still reeling from his exploits in The Strange Attractor, Dobie 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 Dobieâ€™s, has been murdered.

Critical reviews:
â€œBeneath Dobie's appealing indifference to everything outside his field lies an originality that goes deeper than the surface details of this elegantly loopy tale.â€ KIRKUS
