Full of heartbreak, revulsion and black humour, One Yellow Eye by Leigh Radford follows a scientist desperately searching for a cure to a zombie virus while also hiding a monumental secret – her undead husband.

Kesta’s life is turned upside down when her husband, Tim, is one of the last to be bitten in a zombie pandemic.

A scientist by day, she spends her evenings in group therapy with others who have also lost a loved one to the virus. The country is in a period of respite, seemingly having rounded up everyone affected, and Project Dawn is working hard to find a vaccine to make sure the infection can’t reappear.

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.

After finally joining Project Dawn, Kesta juggles intensive work days under the microscope alongside Tim’s care, slipping him stolen drugs to keep him docile, knowing she is hiding the only zombie left – the very thing that could put everyone in danger again.

But a cure seems increasingly out of reach. Plus Kesta is running out of drugs - and time – as she continues to evade Tim’s discovery and confront issue after issue in the lab. She’ll have to dig deep to save the person she loves.
