Description
Book SynopsisThree senior civil servants are dead or missing. As their brief is management of the deadly Virus, Bernard, Mona and the rest of the hard-pressed Health Enforcement Team are fighting not just a pandemic, but government secrets.
Trade ReviewA dark, witty mystery with a unique take on Edinburgh - great stuff!
The presence and flair of Kelly's writing makes this a highly compulsive read; one of those 'well, just one more chapter' sort of books. On top of that, the ending was not only unexpected, but a shining example of just how to finish the last page.

Written with wonderfully dark humour and the wry observational opinions... It is time you became acquainted with the Health of Strangers. Bloody marvellous.
