Publisher's Synopsis
Human betrayal, medical terror and a race against time... A canister of the deadly Madoba-2 virus has gone missing from a Scottish medical research lab. On Christmas Eve, in a howling blizzard. Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on the drug he is developing to fight the lethal virus. Several others are interested in his success: his grown children have their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, the lab's security director, has her career resting on the safety of the drug; and an ambitious local reporter sniffs a story, even if he has to bend the truth to tell it. Their situation takes a turn for the worse when a violent trio of thugs sets out to steal the valuable drug for a client - though what the client has in mind will shock them all...
