But nothing matches the intricate knife-edge drama of <i>Whiteout</i>. . . .</b> <p/> A missing canister of a deadly virus. A lab technician bleeding from the eyes. Toni Gallo, the security director of a Scottish medical research firm, knows she has problems, but she has no idea of the nightmare to come. <p/> As a Christmas Eve blizzard whips out of the north, several people, Toni among them, converge on a remote family house. All have something to gain or lose from the drug developed to fight the virus. As the storm worsens, the emotional sparks--jealousies, distrust, sexual attraction, rivalries--crackle; desperate secrets are revealed; hidden traitors and unexpected heroes emerge. Filled with startling twists at every turn, <i>Whiteout</i> rockets Follett into a class by himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Whiteout</i></b> <p/>A blizzard of treachery and violence . . . an adrenaline-pumping thriller. --<i>The Associated Press</i> <p/>[A] feverish plot. --<i>Rocky Mountain News</i> <p/>Movie-style twists and hairbreadth escapes. --<i>The Wall Street Journal</i> <p/>Undeniably suspenseful. --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/>Scary . . . provides a rush of fear. --<i>New York Post</i> <p/>Almost nonstop action with a plausible and sufficiently frightening plot . . . a page-turner, pure and simple. --<i>The Tennessean</i> <p/>Follett goes down a high-concept road. . . .
