Sinopse

A medical graduate, Tess Gerritsen is one of the biggest names in medical suspense – her books consistently top the US bestseller lists. Considered a female version of Robin Cook, the author dedicates herself to stories filled with suspense and action. In yet another intriguing and frightening novel, her personal experience contributes to a gripping plot, with precise descriptions that are surprisingly true. BLOODSTREAM introduces readers to Claire Elliot, a renowned doctor who lives a quiet and seemingly normal life with her family in Baltimore, USA. Until everything begins to change when Claire loses her husband and feels that her teenage son is struggling to get over his father's death. Finding her eldest son's violent behavior strange, the doctor decides to move to Tranquility, a town in Maine on the shores of Locust Lake. All to avoid bigger problems and try to keep him away from bad company. Tranquility is a quiet resort town that seems to live up to its name. Everyone knows each other and lives harmoniously. It would be the perfect place for Claire to restart her life. But with the arrival of winter, tragedy strikes: a young man, one of her first patients, is overcome by an unusual hatred that culminates in the murder of several schoolmates, including a teacher. It's just the beginning of another nightmare in the doctor's life. Everyone in town begins to point to her as the main culprit for the sudden tragedy, blaming her for the treatment administered to her patient. But Claire suspects there's something suspicious behind this sinister occurrence. Other cases of violence committed by teenagers begin to surface frequently. In her tireless research, Claire realizes this isn't the first time such outbreaks of violence have occurred in the area: teenagers harming parents, siblings, and friends. At least once every fifty years, the town is gripped by waves of terrifying crimes. Finally, Claire enlists the help of the police chief, an archaeologist interested in ancient cases of violence, and a scientist. However, it's not just the city that seems to be in mortal danger — perhaps the threat is greater and closer than she imagines, right inside her own home.
