deadly virus go missing. As a blizzard whips out of the north on Christmas Eve, several people converge on a remote family house. Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is developing to fight a lethal virus. Several others are interested in his success too: his children, at home for Christmas with their offspring, have their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, head of his security team and recently forced to resign from the police, is betting her career on keeping it safe; an ambitious local television reporter sniffs a story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it; and a violent trio of thugs are on their way to steal it, with a client already waiting.

My opinion about the book
This is my first book from this author that i have read and it gave me a good impression and i will definitely look for another book from this author.Whiteout is an interesting book with a smooth beginning and an exciting ending.At first the book looks like a lot of simple books with a simple start but going further and further you just cant stop reading of the excitement and what will the people do when everything is relying on their next choice(cant say don't want to spoil).All the time when i was reading i was wondering how it will end because i just couldn't wait for the ending it was really exciting.
Conclusion
Who wants a good thriller book should really not pass out this one because it has a good story and is really well written.
