Murder at the Music Factory

The Health of Strangers, #4

Lesley Kelly

The body of Paul Shore toppled onto him, a stream of blood pooling around them on the concrete. Bernard lay back and waited to see if he too was going to die.

An undercover agent gone rogue is threatening to shoot a civil servant a day. As panic reigns, the Health Enforcement Team race against time to track him down – before someone turns the gun on them.

Reviews

‘Really entertaining mystery series set in an alternative Edinburgh where a virus is rampant. Investigative team of quirky outsiders means it stands comparison with Mick Herron/Slough House.’

Ian Rankin

‘I loved the development of the characters, and the perfectly timed humour made me laugh out more than once. The book also kept me hooked, and guessing all the way, with its race against the clock plot.’

Jackie McLean
