Fallout: A Novel

Josh Gibbs decided he was through with investigative reporting when controversy derailed his Pulitzer Prize ambitions in Atlanta. Now editor of a weekly paper, he gets two pieces of news from Dr. Allison Wright that change everything. The first is that his daughter has cancer. The second—that a mysterious condition is plaguing Wright’s patients—leads the widowed newspaperman and divorced physician in pursuit of an unimaginable danger. Fallout is the story of their journey—a journey through an Ohio River town’s myths, heroes, and oddities, from Indian curses to rat fishing to an alternative view of George Washington. Above all, Fallout is a story of corporate irresponsibility, of political self-interest, and of a potential catastrophe that looms in most American cities. Written by Mark Ethridge, author of the novel Grievances, now the major motion picture Deadline, starring Eric Roberts.
