There’s a mystery brewing in turn-of-the-century New York City. People are getting sick, and no one can figure out why. And the scariest part of the outbreak? It’s deadly, of course.
Enter spunky, 16-year-old Prudence, for whom the issues of life and death are already all too familiar. As assistant to an epidemiologist in the Department of Health and Sanitation, Prudence is soon wrapped up in the mystery of Mary Mallon, the immigrant woman who seems to be at the center of the epidemic. But are Prudence and her fellow scientists on to something, or is this a case of discrimination, not disease, run amok?
