En el blanco / Whiteout

Ken Follett

Estremecedora, absorbente, En el blanco es una obra maestra del thriller, un genero que Follett parece reinventar en cada una de sus novelas. Y esta es particularmente peligrosa: cuando se empieza no puede dejarse.

Oxenford Medical, empresa farmaceutica escocesa dedicada a la investigacion de vacunas contra los virus mas peligrosos, se dispone a pasar las fiestas navidenas bajo un temporal de nieve. La empresa cuenta con los sistemas mas avanzados de seguridad, de modo que nadie espera ninguna incidencia seria.

Tambien Stanley Oxenford, propietario de la empresa, se dirige a su casa a pasar la noche con sus hijos. Los problemas entre ellos acabaran estallando, pero pronto quedaran olvidados: sin saberlo, todos ellos van a vivir un infierno. Porque justamente esa noche se produce el robo de un peligrosisimo virus. Los ladrones, sin embargo, quedan atrapados por el temporal. Y, en su erratica huida, van a llegar al peor sitio de todos…

Resena:
Esta novela absorbente, casi adictiva, recuerda algunas obras maestras de Hitchcock.
La Voz de Galicia

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From #1 international bestselling author Ken Follett, the gripping thriller Whiteout…

Like no other suspense author in his genre, 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.
