But on that day, he would have been a criminal, if he weren't already dead.Īt the time, I was watching my girls arguing in the backseat through the rearview mirror, and the two words that should have changed everything barely registered. Once a leader amid the most intelligent in the world, he was now a laughing stock. For years, against every code of ethics known to science, Elias Klein had tried and failed to reanimate a corpse. A scientist in Zurich had finally succeeded in creating something that-‐-‐until then-‐-‐had only been fictional. It took me a moment to process what the newswoman had said through the speakers of my Suburban: Finally. 'The cadavers were herded and destroyed.' The radio hosts then made a few jokes, and that was the end of it.

This is #1 New York Times bestselling author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best. Red Hill grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go until its stunning conclusion. But what happens when the one you’d die for becomes the one who could destroy you? Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy-an enemy who no longer remembers what it’s like to be human.

Recognizing they can’t outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. When reports of a widespread, deadly “outbreak” begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Miranda’s biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals. Nathan has a wife, but can’t remember what it’s like to be in love only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone makes fighting for tomorrow an everyday battle.
