New York, 1907. Dr Soper, typhoid slayer, undertakes a high-stakes hunt for Mary Mallon, whom he suspects to be an unknowing healthy typhoid spreader.
If he finds her, and proves his case, she’ll be the first such typhoid carrier identified in the English speaking world.
If he doesn’t, the outcome in a crowded city could be lethal.
Dr Soper is determined not to be defeated in his quest to find the Irish immigrant cook, but at what cost to the woman who would become known as ‘Typhoid Mary’?
A story of ambition, clashing ideals, and radically different worlds - with consequences for all of us to the present.
