Shaun Mason is a man without a mission. Not even running the news organisation he built with his sister has the same urgency as it used to. Playing with dead things just doesn't seem as fun when you've lost as much as he has.
But when a researcher from the Centre for Disease Control fakes her own death and appears on his doorstep with a ravenous pack of zombies in tow, Shaun's relieved to find a new purpose in life. Because this researcher comes bearing news: the monster who attacked them may be destroyed, but the conspiracy is far from dead.Now, Shaun hits the road to find what truth can be found at the end of a shotgun.[An] adrenaline-packed, quick-witted tale of medicine and mayhem... Deft cultural touches, intriguing science and amped-up action will delight Grant's numerous fans. - Publishers Weekly
