Overview

1957. A catastrophe occurs at the pharmaceutical lab in Coventry where 16-year-old Wilf is working for the summer. A catastrophe that needs to be covered up at all costs. 2017. Phiney is shocked by the death of her grandfather, Wilf, who has jumped from a railway bridge at a Coventry station. Journalist Mat Torrington is the only witness. Left in utter disbelief, with a swarm of unanswered questions, Phiney, Mat and Wilf's wife, Dora, begin their own enquiries into Wilf's death. It is soon clear that these two events, 60 years apart, are connected - and that Wilf is not the only casualty. But what is the link? And can they find out before any more lives are lost?

About the Author

Jane Jesmond writes crime, thriller and mystery fiction. Her debut novel,On The Edge -the first in a series featuring dynamic, daredevil protagonist Jen Shaw - was a Sunday TimesBest Crime Fiction of the Month pick. The second in the series,Cut Adrift, was theTimesThriller of the Month and aSunday TimesBest Book of 2023 upon its publication.A Quiet Contagionis a brand-new standalone mystery and her third book with VERVE Books.

Although she loves writing (and reading) thrillers and mysteries, her real life is very quiet and unexciting. Dead bodies and dangerous exploits are not a feature! She lives by the sea in the northwest tip of France with a husband and a cat and enjoys coastal walks and village life. Unlike Jen Shaw, she is terrified of heights.
