Jealousies, distrust , and hidden rivalries uncover dark secrets, then a dozen vials of a 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. As the storm worsens and the group is laid under siege by the elements, the emotional sparks crackle and dark secrets are revealed that threaten to drive Stanley and his family apart for ever. Filled with startling twists, "Whiteout" is the ultimate knife-edge drama from an international bestselling author who is in a class by himself.

A good plot that sounds even better ...,

This review is from: Whiteout (Audio CD)
I purchased this audio CD to listen to that awesome David Tennant voice. I wish he would say murder over and over, and over again! I was pleasantly suprised by the story. I love a well written mystery, action plot. Follett definately held my interest. And just a side note, I live in the Northern U.S. and the winter weather conditions sound similar in Scotland.
A few times I lost track of just how far I had driven down the road. Maybe Tennant's voice can be dangerous while driving! I would definately like to hear David Tennant read another Ken Follett book, however, this time it should be unabridged!!
