"In this harrowing account of the aftermath of a tsunami, Jenifer Ruff takes you to ground zero of the disaster's mighty power, wrapping it with a haunting mystery. I loved every minute of it."-Timothy Browne - USA Today Best-Selling Author

A tsunami strikes a small island in the South Pacific, destroying almost everything in its path and leaving literal madness in its wake.

After the natural disaster, CDC epidemiologist Dr. Madeline Hamilton and her fiancé, FBI operative Quinn Traynor, go to Nalowale island to investigate a deadly outbreak of unknown origin. Victims become aggressive and irrationally violent, suffering from insomnia, hallucinations, and eventual death.

But not everyone cooperates with the agents' efforts to save lives. Billionaire Devon Wheeler's fortune depends on completing construction of the Azure Cove Complex. He'll do whatever it takes to open the resort on time and protect his investment, even if it means concealing critical information related to the outbreak.

As the wave of illness climbs toward a calamitous crash, Madeline uncovers something terrifying...and impossible. The natural disaster has collided with a sinister chapter of history and the victims have less chance of survival than Madeline realized.
