"A pandemic called 'The Sweats' is sweeping the globe, killing people by the tens of millions. Like cities worldwide, London is in chaos: hospitals are filling with the dead and dying, streets are choked with cars abandoned mid-escape, and fear stalks the streets, leaving the few survivors terrified of human contact. With civilization collapsing around her, TV presenter Stevie Flint discovers the dead body of her boyfriend Dr. Simon Sharkey, and becomes convinced it was no accident. With people fleeing London in whatever way they can, Stevie heads in the other direction, into the bowels of the dying city, on an obsessive search for the truth about Simon's death"--.
