Publisher's Synopsis
It's night, and the walls of Rachel's home creak in the darkness of the Australian bush. A recluse, her fear of other people has led her to make a life as far from them as possible. Her only human contact is with Mia, the woman who drops off supplies, and the occasional visit from her sister Monique. A hammering on the door. There stands a woman, Hannah, holding her sick baby Isaiah. They are running for their lives from a mysterious death sweeping the Australian countryside - not fire or flood or virus, but something intangible. With no warning, people are suddenly gripped by intense terror, then die. Now Rachel must venture outside to help Hannah and Isaiah, search for Monique, and discover just what horror has been unleashed...and how to survive it.
