Silent Fear

BLURB:
A
devastating meningitis outbreak is sweeping nationwide at breakneck speed.
Although not blamed, brain surgeon Dr. Danny Tilson’s recent surgeries happened
just before his hospital patients and staff acquired the frightening malady.
Danny
becomes the pivotal player of an investigation when the CDC, a neurologist, and
an infectious disease specialist are summoned for their expertise. The root of the outbreak is an enigma, the
sinister organism is a mystery, and the timeline of its victims is complicated.
Hang
on for the ride as Dr. Danny straightens out his personal life while confronted
with an epidemic of frightening proportions and consequences. The pandemic of the millennium has no cure in
sight! And while Danny’s colleagues,
patients and staff are falling dead around him, perhaps the most crucial
question of all is - why has Danny been spared?

Excerpt
Three:
“The E.R. doc must have explained what’s going on,” Danny
said. “The hematoma Michael suffered in his brain must be managed by surgical
evacuation otherwise his prognosis is going to deteriorate. The blood in there
will continue to cause pressure on his brain or increase his intracranial
pressure. We can’t let that happen, okay?”
“Dr. Tilson,” Stella said, “Do you have children of your
own?”
“I do.”
She looked at her son, deeper into a sleep, and lowered her
voice. “Then you may understand the bond and how scary it would be to have a
child near death’s door.”
Danny briefly closed his eyes. “I’ll take care of your son,
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.”
After Danny finished examining Michael, he left. Tracy put
another cotton blanket over the teen while his parents watched. Stella followed
Tracy as she went out. “I hope Dr. Tilson does a good job,” she said. “I hope
he felt our concern. We’re worried we may lose him.”
With a soulful stare, Tracy looked into her eyes. “Dr.
Tilson understands your worry more than you know, Mrs. Johnson. He lost a
daughter a few years older than your son.”
