Paradise Mislaid, Paperback

Professor Hugh Norris was studying theology with his good friend Bede Murray. He spent two years at the seminary but one day, on a chance piece of advice from one of the lecturers, he decide that a life devoted to religion was not for him. He left to study science instead and rose to prominence for his genome and DNA research.

It's many years later now and Bede is invited to dinner at Hugh's place. But something is amiss. Hugh urgently asks Bede, now Bishop of London, to hear his confession and during this, he tells the bishop something so devastating that Bede recoils in horror and rushes away. He cannot believe his dear friend could even suggest such a horror.

Hugh's research has led him to investigate the true origins of life, and from that he has formed a theory that will turn the religious community - and indeed, the entire world - on its head, should it come to light.

We watch as friendship is tested to dangerous levels and wait for the day when The Paradise Now ideal might be revealed.
