Take a middle ages Arab kingdom, add a ruler who wants to update the kingdom's educational facilities, include a slightly reserved English research psycholinguist (an Oxford classmate of the ruler) asked to pursue his work on creature communication, and then add a touch of chaos in the person of Dinah: a chimpanzee who has begun to figure out how to form coherent phrases with plastic icons. When a murder is determined in the oil-rich marshes, Dinah is the only real see, and Morris has to go in to the marshes to find the truth. The Poison Oracle is a novel of its time that uses the each day dialect people use to expose humanity's thinking and unthinking cruelties one to the other and the family pets with whom we show this globe. The Poison Oracle is the next in a series of reprints of Peter Dickinson's mysteries from Small Ale Press.
