Scotsdale, Arizona, 1982. Roy Emmet Hudson, a man working at the very forefront of gene engineering, is shot dead. Seven years later, as the Berlin Wall falls, another scientist, Professor Roman Slavsky, flees the USSR for the West. In Bristol, the present day, Coroner Jenny Cooper begins to investigate two very troubling deaths. Adam Jordan, recently returned from aid work in the Sudan, fell from a motorway bridge, plummeting into the traffic below. Then a teenage girl, Sophie Freeman, died just hours after showing symptoms of a terrifying new strain of meningitis. Confronted with more questions than answers and finding her enquiries obstructed at every turn, Jenny begins to question whether somehow, inexplicably, these deaths may be linked. Before she can begin to piece together the few perplexing clues, more victims are unearthed. Soon, desperate to discover the truth she knows is out there, her inquests under threat, Jenny will find herself on the run both from agents from her own government and shady, powerful men who operate beyond the law, as the dark horrors of Hudson and Slavsky's research begin to make themselves known.

The Burning is the sixth thrilling installment in Matthew Hall's twice CWA Gold Dagger nominated Coroner Jenny Cooper series, from the creator of BBC One's Keeping Faith. A family tragedy. A buried secret. What lies hidden in the flames? A dense, bitterly cold fog has settled over the Wye Valley when Bristol Coroner Jenny Cooper is called to the scene of a dreadful tragedy: in the village of Blackstone Ley, a house has burned to the ground with three members of a family inside. Though evidence of foul play is quickly uncovered, it isn't long before the police investigation is drawn to a close. It seems certain that the fire was started by one of the victims, Ed Morgan, in a fit of jealous rage. But their infant son is still missing and Ed had left a message for his surviving wife, Kelly Hart, telling her that she would never find the child . . . As Jenny prepares the inquest, she finds herself troubled by the official version of events. What could have provoked Ed's murderous rampage? How might the other, guarded inhabitants of the village have been involved? And what could the connection be with the mysterious abduction of a little girl ten years ago? Battling to suppress gruelling events in her own life, Jenny soon becomes entangled in another perplexing inquiry that may have surprising links to this one. Can she unearth Blackstone Ley's secrets, before it's too late? The Burning is followed by the seventh book in the Coroner Jenny Cooper series, A Life to Kill. The Jenny Cooper novels have been adapted into a hit TV series, Coroner, made for CBC and NBC Universal starring Serinda Swan and Roger Cross.
