Over half-a-century ago fanciful and exotic stories began to appear in the world's press about settlers on the remote Galapagos island of Floreana. The tales were of nudism, free love communes, stainless steel dentures -a latter-day Garden of Eden. But the truth was even stranger.Friedrich Ritter, an eccentric German intellectual, and his long-suffering companion Dora Strauch, were the first arrivals. Once established, they were soon joined by others. Most bizarre and dangerous was the self-styled Baroness Wagner-Bosquet. She ruled her three young male lovers with a riding crop, a pearl-handled revolver and insatiable sexual demands -terrorising other settlers.Her mysterious disappearance and the discovery of unidentified bodies on a nearby island perplexed the world. Now The Galapagos Affair unravels the whole incredible story.'A brilliant tale of mystery.' Paul Theroux, Sunday Times'With a fine display of deductive logic, Treheme runs through all the possible permutations of conspiracy and betrayal.' Times Literary Supplement
