Whiteout

Author: Ken Follett

Category: Fiction

Reviewer: Jan Woodcock

Department/Position: Library Media

Summary: A bio-thriller which takes place over a wintry Christmas holiday in northern Scotland. Toni Gallo is the driven head of security for Oxenford Medical, a research facility working on a cure for Madoba-2, an especially virulent strain of Ebola. It is not until midnight on Christmas Eve that the plot kicks into high gear, as a band of desperate, violent thieves, led by Oxenford's wastrel son, Kit, lay siege to the well-defended facility in the midst of a terrible blizzard. Predictably, things go suddenly, frightfully wrong. A thriller, family drama and love story all rolled into one novel. This English novel will appeal to mature readers who enjoy suspense.

Recommended Audience: Young adult and adult

Rating: 3

This book is available in the AHS library
