Never had he seen anything like what was happening to Hank Stransky. Red blotches formed on the skin across his face. They darkened into shiny pustules — which broke like ripe boils, discharging a gooey liquid. Hank jumped up from the barstool and span completely around like a man in some mad dance…
First a workman goes crazy in a public bar with a broken bottle… A taxi-driver murderously slams his cab into a crowd of pedestrians… A newly-wed bride slaughters her husband in a restaurant and plunges through a plate-glass window.
Three strange, violent deaths, three different cities, and all on the same day.
But these are only the first of thousands…
For something has gone terrible, horribly wrong.
Joana was one of the dead.
But she was brought back to life!
That’s when people began trying to kill her… nice people… the last people in the world anyone would suspect of being capable of murderpeople who were already dead…
