Bad Blood

When Michael Pemberton, a brilliant micro-biologist, is found dead on the pavement below a multi-storey car-park, all the evidence suggests this was a suicide. But Daniel Rankin, a senior MI6 officer, is not convinced. Pemberton was involved in a top-secret project for the British government working on the rapid detection of viruses that could be used in a biological attack. He had just made a major breakthrough but all the notes recording his discovery are missing.
Joining forces with his old friend, retired detective Charlie Watts, Daniel starts his own inquiry and finds himself drawn to Pemberton’s beautiful co-worker, the enigmatic Emma Nelson. As Daniel and Charlie investigate further, they learn Pemberton was not what he appeared. In fact, nothing is as it first seems. They begin to uncover a plot of scientific espionage which leads to the most unexpected of people. But that is just the start.
A fanatical terrorist is planning to exact a personal revenge in the most terrifying way imaginable. Daniel and Charlie are caught up in a race against time if they are to prevent an attack in the heart of London. An attack that could prove more devastating than the Black Death five hundred years ago.
This exciting, fast-paced thriller is full of twists that will keep the reader intrigued from the first to the last page.
