À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The danger hasn't passed--it's just changed locations.

Something sinister is happening in the waters off the coast of West Africa, trailing death in its wake. Local insurgencies are no longer the only imminent danger--and the panic mounts. But before a global alarm can be sounded, the sea currents shift, and the outbreak evaporates. Coastal populations are relieved when life returns to normal, and the region's governments are all too happy to sweep the publicity nightmare under the rug.

Theo Bishop and Avery Madison saw the devastation with their own eyes, and they know the danger hasn't passed--it's just changed locations. But everywhere they turn, powerful interests are determined to silence all credible evidence of the impending biological disaster--by any means necessary. They will have to stay out of the crosshairs long enough to convince the powers that be of the toxic destruction about to be unleashed on American soil. . . .

"Bunn returns to thrillers with this fast-paced read that balances action and cozy undertones. . . . Theo and a diverse team of characters form unbreakable bonds in their struggles to find the source of the illness and avoid the dangers that seem to be lurking around every corner. Outbreak is an accessible read that will appeal to readers who enjoy mystery and suspense and also appreciate inspirational fiction."--Booklist

"The breakneck pace of the storyline leaves nary a dull moment. Outbreak is a quick and entertaining read. Davis Bunn does an excellent job at crafting a thriller that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat."--Fresh Fiction
