A Quiet Contagion

Description

1957. A catastrophe occurs at the pharmaceutical lab in Coventry where sixteen-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, sixty 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?
