Description
A chilling exploration of the Cold War arms race, "In a Veil of Mist" delves into a true, covered-up germ warfare incident in remote Scotland. In 1952, secret experiments involving monkeys and guinea pigs took place aboard a vessel off the Isle of Lewis, sparking suspicion among local villagers. As a government scientist grapples with the moral implications of such testing, disaster threatens when a noxious cloud of plague bacteria is released into the path of a passing trawler. The consequences are dire, raising questions about the costs and fallout of warmongering. This haunting novel follows its author's personal connection to the Outer Hebrides, where he grew up, as he explores another little-known incident in this isolated region.
