Editorial Reviews

“Elena Bruck has Chekhov’s eye for detail and knows how to weave a haunting story.”

Gregory Colbert

“Elena Bruck takes us on a deadly journey through plague-ravaged New York City. This psychologically incisive and medically informed thriller is quite different from any other disaster novel I’ve read. Bruck builds complex and compelling characters, but still manages to keep you on the edge of your
seat. I will never look at Stuyvesant Town the same way again.”
