With her acclaimed bestsellers Harvest and Life Support, Tess
Gerritsen has injected a powerful dose of adrenaline into the
medical thriller. Now, in a new blockbuster, Gerritsen melds
page-turning suspense with chilling realism as a small-town doctor
races to unravel the roots of a violent outbreak -- before it
destroys everything she loves.
Lapped by the gentle waters of Locust Lake, the resort town of
Tranquility, Maine, seems like the perfect spot for Dr. Claire
Elliot to shelter her adolescent son, Noah, from the distractions
of the big city and the lingering memory of his father's death. But
with the first snap of winter comes shocking news that puts her
practice on the line: a teenage boy under her care has committed an
appalling act of violence. And as Claire and all of Tranquility
soon discover, it is just the start of a chain of lethal outbursts
among the town's teenagers.
As the rash of disturbing behavior grows, Claire uncovers a
horrifying secret: this is not the first time it has happened.
Twice a century, the children of Tranquility lash out with deadly
violence. Claire suspects there is a biological cause for the
epidemic, and she fears that placid Locust Lake may conceal an
insidious danger. As she races to save Tranquility -- and her son
-- from harm, Claire discovers an even greater threat: a shocking
conspiracy to manipulate nature and turn innocents to
slaughter.
