Mr Glossop is on his round delivering wages to government buildings across New Zealand's lonely plains. But when his car breaks down he is stranded at the isolated Mount Seager Hospital. Trapped with him are a group of soldiers with a serious case of cabin fever, three employees in a love triangle, a dying man, an elusive patient, and a potential killer. When the payroll disappears from a safe and the hospital's death toll rises, is something sinister afoot? A new Roderick Alleyn novel!
