Bloodhound — Andrew Puckett

Blood transfusions have saved countless lives over the years, but when a terrorist group agitating for Scottish independence deliberately contaminates a hundred blood packs with a deadly bacteria, this normally safe procedure poses a terrifying threat.

'Pacy, well written, and a chillingly believable premise.' - Marcel Berlins, The Times 'Impossible to put down.' - West Somerset Free Press ''With a hint of romance, a dramatic climax and a twist in the tail, it proved a most enjoyable read.' - Anne Miller, Police Box 'An all-too-plausible story of a Scottish nationalism group mounting a death-by-blood-transfusion terror campaign' - Peterborough Evening Telegraph
