Book description
Coroner Jenny Cooper investigates . . . An unlikely suicide or a deadly
conspiracy? When Bristol Coroner Jenny Cooper investigates the fatal
plunge of a man from a motorway bridge, she little suspects that it has
any connection with the sudden death of a friend's thirteen year old
daughter from a deadly strain of meningitis. But as Jenny pieces
together the dead man's last days, she's drawn into a mystery whose dark
ripples stretch across continents and back through decades. In an
investigation which will take her into the sinister realms of unbridled
human ambition and corrupt scientific endeavour, Jenny is soon forced to
risk the love and lives of those closest to her, as a deadly race to
uncover the truth begins . . . M. R. Hall is a screenwriter and
producer and former criminal barrister, a profession he left due to a
constitutional inability to prosecute. Educated at Hereford Cathedral
School and Worcester College, Oxford, he lives in the Wye Valley in
Monmouthshire with his wife, journalist Patricia Carswell, and two sons.
Aside from writing, his main passion is the preservation and planting of
woodland. In his spare moments, he is mostly to be found amongst trees.
