Part medical crime story, part academic satire, part speculative fiction, The Oxford Virus addresses this case. First time writer, Kolczynski has an interesting background. He read biochemistry at Oxford as well as modern history so it's not surprising that there is a degree of authority to his descriptions of the suggested cancer cure, which effectively involved a virus that destroys the cancer but leaves the patient unaffected. It's an intriguing idea and the author manages to convey the concept logically without appearing to fall into the 'look how much I know' trap.

I was fascinated by the set up and so wanted to enjoy the rest of the book, but I found myself getting more and more distanced from the story as it developed.

Why is he Hungarian? Conveniently, he has a friend, a Russian by the name of Professor Konstantin Zolotov who is a failed medical student and now Head of Russian and East European Studies at one of the Oxford colleges. I know there are pressures on police resources, but quite when it became de rigeur for the police to get academic professors to do the investigation work escapes me.

Zolotov has a pet student, an Argentinian by the name of Figueroa. By now you will have discerned that there is a veritable league of nations in the story's characters. These seem to be purely arbitrary and the only reason that I can discern is that it avoids the need for character development.

The reader thinks 'oh yes, that's the Argentinian one' rather than developing any depth of character. Nowhere does the nationality of these characters contribute to the story other than in a few Russian phrases dotted around. So Zolotov, whose dialogue is verbose and somewhat cold, heads off in his Porsche to interview all and sundry and despite a complete lack of cover story everyone tells him exactly what he wants to know and yet his is neither qualified nor authorised to obtain these insights.
