Contagion
Robin Cook
Dr. John Stapleton goes into forensic pathology after professional and
personal tragedy overwhelms him. Then a deadly outbreak of influenza
arouses his suspicions that there is a conspiracy by a for-profit medical
giant to eliminate its more costly subscribers. Together with Teresa
Hagen, art director of a Madison Avenue advertising firm, he discovers
the real truth is far more Machiavellian than they thought.
