A poisoned breeze blows across the waves ... Operation Cauldron,
1952: Top-secret germ warfare experiments on monkeys and guinea
pigs are taking place aboard a vessel moored off the Isle of Lewis.
Local villagers Jessie and Duncan encounter strange sights on the
deserted beach nearby and suspect the worst. And one government
scientist wrestles with his own inner anguish over the testing,
even if he believes extreme deterrent weapons are needed. When a
noxious cloud of plague bacteria is released into the path of a
passing trawler, disaster threatens. Will a deadly pandemic be
inevitable? A haunting exploration of the costs and fallout of
warmongering, Donald S Murray follows his prize-winning first novel
with an equally moving exploration of another little-known incident
in the Outer Hebridean island where he grew up.
