THE RATS RAISED THE ALARM...
In a village outside Edinburgh, a young boy is the victim of a shocking ordeal while playing with his friends by the canal ... he is attacked by a rat.
The village itself is currently in turmoil over a genetically modified crop growing in a nearby field and sinister doubts are being expressed over its supposed government license.
The Sci-Med Inspectorate send Steven Dunbar to investigate. His search for the truth soon gives rise to the horrific suspicion that the rat incident - one of several in the area - might not be unconnected to the GM crop. Is there something in these crops that is somehow affecting the behaviour of the rats? But Steve's questions are beginning to upset some powerful operators: people who are prepared to kill to stop him...
