Description
A 2022 Edgar Award Nominee
Daryl Gregory's The Album of Dr. Moreau combines the science fiction premise of the famous novel by H. G. Wells with the panache of a classic murder mystery and the spectacle of a beloved boy band. It's 2001, and the WyldBoyZ are the world's hottest boy band, and definitely the world's only genetically engineered human-animal hybrid vocal group. When their producer, Dr. M, is found murdered in his hotel room, the "boyz" become the prime suspects. Was it Bobby the ocelot ("the cute one"), Matt the megabat ("the funny one"), Tim the Pangolin ("the shy one"), Devin the bonobo ("the romantic one"), or Tusk the elephant ("the smart one")? Las Vegas Detective Luce Delgado has only twenty-four hours to solve a case that goes all the way back to the secret science barge where the WyldBoyZ' journey first began--a place they used to call home.Author: Daryl Gregory
