> Fiction Books > Crime Books

No hospital could have been prepared for the man Dr Toby Harper admits one quiet night to the Springer Hospital. Delirious and in critical condition from a possible viral infection of the brain, he barely responds to treatment. And then he disappears without trace.

Under fire from the hospital administration for literally losing a patient, and fearful that she's missed a life-threatening diagnosis, Toby knows she must find the patient. Her hunt is intensified when a second delirious patient dies in the hospital's care. But even more chilling is the discovery that the infection can only be spread through direct tissue
exchange.

As this disturbing news threatens to surface, Toby follows a trail that winds from a sixteen-year-old prostitute who is being stalked to a curiously secretive home for the elderly. And then, as unexpected tragedy hits close to home, Toby discovers the unthinkable: a terrifying and deadly epidemic is about to be unleashed...
