Product Information
'They said that twenty-five percent of the population would catch the flu. Between seventy and eight percent of them would die. He had been directly exposed to it, and the odds weren't good.' A CITY IN QUARANTINE London, the epicenter of a global pandemic, is a city in lockdown. Violence and civil disorder simmer. Martial law has been imposed. No-one is safe from the deadly virus that has already claimed thousands of victims. Health and emergency services are overwhelmed. A MURDERED CHILD At a building site for a temporary hospital, construction workers find a bag containing the rendered bones of a murdered child. A remorseless killer has been unleashed on the city; his mission is to take all measures necessary to prevent the bones from being identified. A POWERFUL CONSPIRACY D.I. Jack MacNeil, counting down the hours on his final day with the Met, is sent to investigate. His career is in ruins, his marriage over and his own family touched by the virus. Sinister forces are tracking his every move, prepared to kill again to conceal the truth. Which will stop him first - the virus or the killers? Written over fifteen years ago, this prescient, suspenseful thriller is set against a backdrop of a capital city in quarantine, and explores human experience in the grip of a killer virus.Product Identifiers

Title certainly catches the attention in 2020!!
It’s a very good story set within lockdown, which is so relevant just now, yet the author wrote it 15 years ago! The plot actually turns out to be rather dark but it is worth reading even so.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Badly written rubbish5
Product was in excellent condition .No problems with supplier but hated the story and style. Won't be buying anything else by Peter May. Gratuitous content that was unnecessary to the weak plot. No resolution at the end of very weak plot. Sorry.3Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Too many plots going nowhere
It doesn’t work as trying 2 plots, when one, the pandemic would be more than enough. And career and family of hero all downhill. It’s ok but could have been much better, Tom Clancy write one that was really good and scaryVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Peter May not his best.
I have read many P May books this is not his best. The plot just a little far fetched, more so to the end. Still an easy novel to read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Scary view of how a pandemic might take hold. Well written thriller
Exciting and well written book - probably felt unbelievable and far fetched when it was written, but in light of the last 18 months it really felt possible, even plausible.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
