London – St James Park
Usually a nice park for a stroll but in this novel it’s the scene of a bonfire tragedy and a flesh eating virus. Alex Caan has one twisted mind!
“When the masked body had been found it was nearing eight, with St James park returning to its status as a shortcut for the civil servants and office workers who used it to get from the tube to Victoria Street and its surrounding areas.”
The body is found close to the lake and at the Buckingham Palace end of the park..
The Royal Free hospital is also a major setting given that “The only centre in London geared up to deal with potentially lethal outbreaks”
