Publisher Description
"Everyone likes a page-turner, and Follett is the best." —The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A hell of a storyteller" (Entertainment Weekly), #1 New York Times bestselling author Ken Follett reinvents the thriller with each new novel. But nothing matches the intricate knife-edge drama of Whiteout. . . .
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.
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, Whiteout rockets Follett into a class by himself.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant
I was completely engaged from the start. Totally absorbing read. Very little profanity which never adds anything intelligent or interesting to the story as far as I’m concerned.
Fast paced and very well written
Highly entertaining, wonderful characters and plotting.
Predictable
I purchased this book rather than get it from the library so I finished it. Not up to Follett’s standards n my opinion. It was very predictable with a lot of fluff rather than meaningful detail. I was disappointed.
