Summary

One of Ian Rankin's top ten books of 2021.

When you have a problem that can't be solved, you call John Tyler.

Nine people are trapped on an anthrax-infested, government-controlled island off the west coast of Scotland when the door to their decontamination chamber suddenly stops opening.

The only man who can fix the door – the onsite technician – is dead. Was it an accident? Or was he murdered?

On an island populated by an international team of scientists with a military-grade bioweapon readily available, the motive to kill is strong, and death is laced into the very soil...

Strap in tight for this outstanding debut, perfect for fans of Terry Hayes and James Swallow.

Critic reviews

A first class thriller... This debut is going to be huge.
--Mari Hannah (author of Without a Trace)

Uncomfortably well researched and brimming with pace, Anthrax Island is that rare thing: a thoughtful and intelligent thriller. Absolutely brilliant.
-- M. W. Craven (2019 CWA Gold Dagger award winning author of The Puppet Show)

A nerve-shredding thriller packed full of atmosphere and tension from a writer to watch.
-- Doug Johnstone (author of The Big Chill)

Anthrax Island makes brilliant use of a unique setting, and at times reads like Agatha Christie by way of John Carpenter's The Thing. Enthralling.
-- Mason Cross (author of Presumed Dead)

Anthrax Island is an exhilarating thrill ride with so many twists and turns that it's impossible to predict what's going to happen next. A classic mystery with a contemporary twist, Anthrax Island is a joy.
-- Chris McGeorge (author of Inside Out)

A well paced and gripping listen.

A thorouhly enjoyable who dunnit' set on the interesting backdrop of biological threat.

It has many twists and turns with well paced action and interesting information on the implications of an Anthrax threat.

The book is clearly well researched as well as keeping the listener gripped with a fast paced story.

Definitely worth a listen.
