From the author of The Summer Prince, a novel that's John Grisham's
The Pelican Brief meets Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain set
at an elite Washington, DC, prep school.
Emily Bird was raised not to ask questions. She has perfect hair, the
perfect boyfriend, and a perfect Ivy-League future. But a chance meeting
with Roosevelt David, a homeland security agent, at a party for
Washington, DC's elite leads to Bird waking up in a hospital, days
later, with no memory of the end of the night.
Meanwhile, the world has fallen apart: A deadly flu virus is sweeping
the nation, forcing quarantines, curfews, even martial law. And
Roosevelt is certain that Bird knows something. Something about the
virus--something about her parents' top secret scientific
work--something she shouldn't know.
The only one Bird can trust is Coffee, a quiet, outsider genius who
deals drugs to their classmates and is a firm believer in conspiracy
theories. And he believes in Bird. But as Bird and Coffee dig deeper
into what really happened that night, Bird finds that she might know
more than she remembers. And what she knows could unleash the biggest
government scandal in US history.
Includes a bonus song, "Love is the Drug," performed by Alaya Dawn
Johnson.
