JOINT WINNER OF THE 2006 AUREALIS PRIZE FOR BEST HORROR NOVEL.
History is out to get you.
Jacqueline is a struggling academic. Unless she can kickstart her failed thesis, she will lose everything she's ever dreamed of.
A lucky find leads to the discovery of a lifetime—a cache of documents detailing a century-old murder. She can finish her thesis, and garner the prestige to make her career.
But as Jacqueline digs into the records, a mysterious plague strikes Sydney—identical to the mysterious illness detailed in the historical documents, causing unnatural outbreaks of violence and madness. And the man she made the discovery with—biologist Daniel O'Connor—may be the source of the infection. An ancient conspiracy surfaces, desperate to bury the ancient truth.
Threatened on all sides, Jacqueline must confront a dark legacy, or everything she knows and loves will be consumed by malevolent forces.
