Not since Pandemic have we seen a thriller like this from bestselling author Daniel Kalla: The plague has hit Italy. Can Dr. Alana Vaughn find the source in time to save the world?
No person is left unscathed, no family untouched. Death grows insatiable.

Alana Vaughn, an infectious diseases expert with NATO, is urgently summoned to Genoa by an ex-lover to examine a critically ill patient. She's stunned to discover that the illness is a recurrence of the Black Death. Alana soon suspects bioterrorism, but her WHO counterpart, Byron Menke, disagrees. In their desperate hunt to track down Patient Zero, they stumble across an 800-year-old monastery and a medieval journal that might hold the secret to the present-day outbreak. With the lethal disease spreading fast and no end in sight, it's a race against time to uncover the truth before millions die.

      Kalla, a physician in British Columbia, returns to medical thrillers, the foundation of his literary career, after a detour into historical fiction. It's a welcome return: a story about a NATO doctor who teams up with an expert from the World Health Organization to find out how a centuries-old plague has reappeared in the modern day. It's a tightly plotted thriller, energetic and completely believable. Kalla knows how to build a suspenseful story that doesn't stretch the bounds of plausibility. He also knows how to build realistic characters and put natural-sounding dialogue into their mouths, something many better-known medical-thriller authors often struggle to do. Readers who've enjoyed the author's historical fiction (including Rising Sun, Falling Shadow, 2013), but have been waiting for him to return to the present day, will be thrilled by the appearance of this top-drawer thriller.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
