Countdown to Death

Five residents of a tiny Georgia community have fallen ill with a rare and fatal disease, and medical researcher Allison Stewart must uncover the cause before time runs out. She has barely started asking questions when an attempt on her life nearly succeeds. Rescuing her is Luke Garrison, a reclusive man who lives under a cloud of suspicion.

Luke has long been considered the prime suspect in a murder that happened ten years ago, and that old case appears connected to Allison's investigation. Still, she needs his help and agrees to work closely with him. As the two dig deeper, Allison has to wonder whether her partnership with him is keeping her safe or putting her in line to become the next victim.
