"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...

RELEASE NOTES:

Releasing at a meet up in Canterbury at Noon on the 22nd July 2006 at the Caffe Venezia in Palace Street not far from the cathedral. Books not claimed by someone by end of meet up will be scattered around the city centre, happy hunting.

What a lovely surprise! I'm a big fan of Gerritsen. Thank you so much Sarah, i look forward to reading it.

As usual, a good read. Perhaps this one was a little bit transparent compared to some of her others.

RELEASE NOTES:

This book is going with caffcaff to the Meet Up. If no one wants it, it will probably stay in the OBCZ there.

Another one I snaffled at the meet yesterday! I hope I've not got this one already ;o) I've collected a lot of Tess Gerritsen books, cos I really like her style of writing. I'll try not to keep it too long, but what with the upcoming move and the work required on the house, it might take a while to read my books...

A good read - I read about half of it last night and couldn't put it down! It was just so easy to read and the story flowed really nicely. It was just too easy to keep turning the pages, and then I realised I'd finished and I should have been asleep in order to get up early to go to the gym this morning! *lol*

I thought that they might have been able to save more of the people, but never mind. I guess it makes a change for it not to turn out okay in the end for almost everyone!

I hadn't planned on picking this book up to read it quite so soon, but I'm glad I did because it was a good read and as I said I did enjoy it. It just managed to make some of my other books have to stick around a bit longer! Still, as it was a quick read and I enjoyed it I'll let it off! ;oP

I'll probably take it to the BC Dorset meet that's supposed to be happening this Saturday (even though I don't know where or when yet!). I'm sure Gazza1980 will find out when and where....

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel! If you like Tess Gerritsen novels then you will definately enjoy this literary "must read". I am doing a controlled release in New Zealand.
