As Jaq is pulled further into a murky underworld of deceit and corruption, things take an explosive turn...

After escaping almost certain death amidst the ruins of Chernobyl, Jaq finds herself in even hotter water. Deep in debt, she decides to take on a risky contract in China. But when her former student and the chemical factory she was meant to be investigating both mysteriously disappear, she realises nothing is as it seems.


From fraudulent art auctions in London to a troupe of male strippers in Shanghai, the mystery of the vanishing factory begins to look ever more complicated as the days pass. Can Jaq work out what happened - and whether it has anything to do with her nemesis Frank Good - before time runs out?

Praise for the series:

'Action, intrigue and a stonkingly modern heroine. It's a blast.' Sunday Times Crime Club

MEDIA REVIEWS

'The book keeps the reader guessing throughout...and the fast pace of the thriller makes it difficult to put down.'

* The Chemical Engineer *

'Never a dull moment, this is a whip-smart, action packed, intriguing read that has the reader rooting for Jaq, a thoroughly modern and engaging warrior... Highly recommended.'

* Mystery People *

'The Chemical Reaction - a taut against-the-clock cliffhanging yarn located in China - is every bit as good as its Chernobyl predecessor, with trademark Erskine flourishes augmented by dodgy art auctions and disappearing chemical factories... If you're looking for a really good thriller that is complex and exciting, get in on the Jaq Silver action now. You won't be disappointed.'

* Swansea Bay magazine *

'No one else writes with the knowledge or brio of Erskine.'

* Literary Review *

'A globetrotting action-fest.'

* Peterborough Times *

Praise for The Chemical Detective:

'Action, intrigue and a stonkingly modern heroine. It's a blast.' Sunday Times Crime Club

'Intricate, seductive and thrilling. Erskine's writing glows with wit and danger. And can't help reminding you, with every page turned, of how close we all are to detonation.' Ross Armstrong, author of The Watcher


'A convincing thriller with an unusual edge.'
