Clean Slate

Résumé du livre

Fluff reporter Justine Reznick is having a few problems. Her severe obsessive-compulsive disorder is acting up, she's hallucinating an alien alphabet in her bathroom, and she's being threatened by an unknown assailant. The assailant turns out to be Riley Sikora, a renegade scientist who claims to be from an underground group trying to restore the foundations of reality, and he says he needs her help. The substance threatening to undo reality is synthracon, an engineered virus which was intended to cure Alzheimer's Disease and schizophrenia, but which crossed over to the general public, turning the crazy sane and the sane crazy. Justine's disorder has caused the virus to work its way out of her system, and she must work with Riley to stop the chaos resulting from the effects of the virus.
