Romulus Ledbetter has discovered a frozen corpse outside his front door. For most people this would herald a series of 'firsts' in their safe and regulated lives: first encounter with violent death, with the police, with the dark side of reality. Not for Romulus. Romulus met the dark side of reality a long time ago and has been communing with it ever since. A former musical prodigy with everything going for him, now a deluded paranoiac living in a cave in Central Park, Romulus gave the finger to society and society returned the compliment. But with a weary police force sceptical of Romulus' version of events (perhaps understandable, given they include drug abuse, sexual deviancy and a criminally-inclined celebrity), there remains only one candidate with the inclination and information to play detective... Like the best murder mysteries, <i>The Caveman</i> is a novel of extraordinary suspense. Yet beneath the surface lies another story - of psychological intrigue; of complex relationships; and of the dangers of equating normality with sanity. It is a debut of stunning originality.
