Whiteout -- Ken Follett

<b>Everyone likes a page-turner, and Follett is the best. --<i>The Philadelphia Inquirer</i> <p/>A hell of a storyteller (<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>), #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Ken Follett reinvents the thriller with each new novel. 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.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Ken Follett<br><b>Publisher:</b> Penguin Books<br><b>Published:</b> 12/02/2008<br><b>Pages:</b> 416<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.96lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.02h x 5.96w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780451225146<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-UP<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 17<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>85595 / Whiteout<br><br><p
