A TWISTED WORK OF LITERARY HORROR, FEATURING ONE OF AMERICAN HISTORY'S MOST NOTORIOUS AND PERSECUTED FIGURES—TYPHOID MARY
Karalee Soper, a graduate student in public health, grew up hearing tales of her heroic great grandfather,
George A. Soper, who tracked down and locked away Irish immigrant cook Mary Mallon——the infamous disease
carrier who came to be called Typhoid Mary. On a summer evening, while partying on a pleasure cruise
with her closest friends, she finds herself in an area of the East River known as Hell Gate——in sight of the
long-uninhabited island where Mary languished bitterly for decades——and can't resist the temptation to
sneak ashore for a secret visit. Soon five curious and precocious twentysomethings are wandering among
the macabre ruins of abandoned Riverside Hospital. Budding experts on the history of communicable disease,
these students think they've mastered everything there is to know about Typhoid Mary and North
Brother Island. But they don't know who tends the garden by the crumbling greenhouse. They don't know
about the ghosts of the General Slocum shipwreck. They don't know the intentions of the hermit woman
who offers to cook them dinner. And, worst of all, they know nothing of the sinister history lurking in the
DNA of Karalee Soper, who will soon learn to her horror that the real prisoner of Hell Gate is the person she
least suspects.
