A fatal epidemic has a shocking cause in this novel of big business, politics, and medical mystery that's "almost impossible to put down" ( New York Post ). A series of inexplicable and deadly seizures has come to the attention of the FDA's Dr. Gwen Maulder after her best friend, a New York lawyer, falls victim -- along with a number of other young professionals. Maulder can't seem to get a hold on the cause of the puzzling deaths, but her investigation is raising alarms in the corporate world and threatening a senator with a chilling secret. Even her superiors are pushing her to back off, despite the mounting death toll. With the help of her ex-Secret Service husband and an intrepid journalist, she's determined to uncover what sort of ruthless conspiracy may lie at the heart of this threat -- even if it means putting her own life on the line . Written by an epidemiologist who has served multiple presidential administrations, this is a frightening, action-packed thriller with "a nice twist at the end" ( Publishers Weekly ). "Plunges us into a world which combines intrigue with cutting-edge science . timely and compelling." -- Richard North Patterson, New York Times -bestselling author. |
