Description

A Quiet Contagion by Jane Jesmond is a disquieting mystery that weaves together two seemingly unrelated events, sixty years apart. In 1957, a catastrophe occurs at a pharmaceutical lab in Coventry, resulting in a devastating cover-up. Sixty years later, the death of Phiney's grandfather, Wilf, sparks a chain of enquiries into his demise. As journalist Mat Torrington and Phiney begin to investigate Wilf's death, they uncover a web of secrets and lies that threaten to destroy their lives. The more they dig, the clearer it becomes that these two events are connected - but what is the link? And can they find out before any more lives are lost? This gripping mystery draws on real-life events, including the 1957 Coventry polio epidemic and the Cutter Incident, to create a story that feels eerily prescient in today's world.
