In 1892 Port McKinney, WA, Dr. Thomas Parks (Race for the Dying) faces a cholera epidemic that may have started with one of his nurses. The care of desperately ill people with no known successful treatment and no real hope of stopping the spread of the deadly bacilli drives the plot to a very special ending.
VERDICT Absolutely fascinating. For readers of Michael Palmer and Michael Crichton.
