Thriller: Streams of Babel


When Cora's mother dies, she assumes that her mother finally overdosed on the painkillers she'd been taking for years. So she's shocked to learn that her mother AND a neighbour both died of a brain aneurysm on the same night. When Cora and other neighbourhood teens become ill with a mysterious flu, and government agents arrive in her small town, they all fear the unthinkable - a terrorist attack.
Meanwhile, a world away in Pakistan, a sixteen year old computer genius named Shahzad is working as a virtual spy. He's alarmend to see an influx of chatter about a substance called Red Vinegar that will, as he reads, "lead to many deaths in Colony One". Can Shahzad sift through the babble of the chat rooms, and find the location of the attack in time?
