*SUNDAY TIMES SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL OF THE YEAR*

A masterpiece that entertains, enlightens, and moves equally, according to the Financial Times. A raw satirical and subversive comedy, as described by the Daily Mail.

The venomous wolffish is the most intelligent fish on the planet. However, it might have been the most intelligent fish on the planet, as it may have just disappeared. No one knows. And no one really cares, except for two people.

Mining executive Mark Halyer has a prison cell waiting for him if the fish is gone for good, and biologist Karin Resaint needs it for her own darker reasons. They don't trust each other, but they have no choice but to collaborate in the search for the wolffish.

As they travel through the strange landscapes of near-future Europe - a protected area filled with toxic waste, a floating city in the Baltic Sea, the deadly depths of a totalitarian state - they become entangled in a conspiracy much larger than an ugly little fish.
