Snort-inducingly funny . . . One for those with strong stomachs and big hearts - The Times

Full of heartbreak, revulsion and black humour, a scientist desperately searches for a cure to a zombie virus while also hiding a monumental secret - her undead husband.

Kesta's husband, Tim, was the last person to be bitten in a zombie pandemic. The country is now in a period of respite, the government seemingly having rounded up and disposed of all the infected.

But Kesta has a secret . . .

Tim may have been bitten, but he's not quite dead yet. In fact, he's tied to a bed in her spare room. And she's made him a promise: find a cure, bring him back.

A scientist by day, Kesta juggles intensive work under the microscope alongside Tim's care, slipping him stolen drugs to keep him docile while knowing she is hiding the only zombie left. But Kesta is running out of drugs - and time. Can she save her husband before he is discovered? Or worse . . . will they trigger another outbreak?

An acidic, funny, queasy debut - Emma Van Straaten, bestselling author of This Immaculate Body

WHY READERS LOVE LEIGH RADFORD'S ONE YELLOW EYE:

I absolutely devoured this (pardon the pun).

Man oh man. This is one of those hypnotizing novels that just instantly compels you to keep reading.

Grimy, atmospheric and so beautifully bleak, it absolutely burrowed under my skin.
