Epidemic — J.P. Choquette

Everett James, a reporter in Vermont, finds himself in the middle of the most important investigation of his life. When a deadly virus, H1N2, breaks out in the small town of St. Albans, James takes the story. But his research turns up more questions than answers. What's the link between Vermont's largest pharmaceutical company, BeckePharm, and Palmer Laboratories, a New York-based upstart drug company? How did the virus, a mutated strain of the Avian Flu, end up in such a rural area? As the death toll rises, James must find the answers before running out of time. Epidemic is a fast-paced medical suspense, culminating in an unexpected, show-stopping finale.
