Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is developing to fight a lethal virus. Several others are interested in his success too.

A missing canister of deadly virus. A lab technician who is dangerously ill...As a blizzard whips out of the North on Christmas Eve, several people converge on a remote family house. Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is developing to fight a lethal virus. Several others are interested in his success too: his children, at home for Christmas with their offspring, have their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, head of his security team and recently forced to resign in disgrace from the police, is betting her career on keeping it safe; an ambitious local television reporter sniffs a story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it; and a violent trio of thugs is on its way to steal it, a client already waiting. As the storm worsens and the group is laid under siege by the elements, the emotional sparks crackle. Jealousies, distrust, sexual attraction, and hidden rivalries boil to the fore, uncovering dark secrets that threaten to drive Stanley and his family apart for ever.
Filled with startling twists, "Whiteout" is the ultimate knife-edge drama from an international bestselling author who is in a class by himself.
