Scathe by Julian M. Miles
When the lead officer of a joint investigation is hospitalised, DI Dan Higgin is sent to take over the operation in North London. What eventually becomes clear to him and his team is the nature of the threat. In a race against time, they must unravel this mix of mad science, elder secrets, greed and revenge before it kills them all and goes on to kill thousands more.

United KingdomD.I Higgins is back and Miles went much further!
A little slow to burn at the beginning (not a complaint) but as per usual with the genre and this particular author, it reached a searing climax and things generally made sense while leaving plenty of questions still to be answered. I’m eagerly awaiting my next foray into Julian Miles’ universe of horrors. D.I.Higgins returns from ‘Single White Male’ and honestly I couldn't put this book down. The mystery, violence and high stakes have been turned up to 11 here. Bravo sir, Bravo!
