"As the charter ship Morning Rose sails through wintry seas towards the island, the doctor on board, Christopher Marlowe, is kept busy attending to his sea-sick patients - the members of a film unity who are to make a film on Bear Island so secret that they none of them know much about it.  then another, more mysterious malady attacks them and in some cases proves fatal.  But there is something highly unnatural about both the illness and its selection of victims.  The Morning Rose has a murderer on board."
