“I enjoyed reading your book while on holiday in Sardinia. I laughed way too much at the hot chocolate from the coffee vending machine line. And strangely enough, I’m off to a foundry in Dudley next week. I’m going to be very careful…”

“What a fantastic project. I think this book should be essential reading for all school leavers and many others. Very impressive.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Hal and his adventures in the aeronautics industry. I especially enjoyed the parts where Hal is in danger, but I also like the fact that the solution was based on his subject knowledge. It left me wishing to read more.”

Cast Doubt
There's no end of dangers on a factory floor.
Lethal machinery, welding fume, metalworking fluid mist-Hal Rogers, occupational hygienist, is well acquainted with them all.
When there's a case of dermatitis at a machining factory that even he can't explain, Hal begins to suspect that there's more going on than a simple health and safety violation.
Everything points towards industrial sabotage-and it could be fatal.
With just an engineer's ruined hands and traces of unexplained metals to go by, Hal's the only one who can solve this mystery.
And, as he'll soon find out, there are people who'll do anything to keep him from the truth.
