Jenifer Ruff

When a private plane whisks CDC epidemiologist Madeline Hamilton to Washington D.C. for an urgent medical symposium, she knows something significant is underway—but she doesn’t expect to face the most disturbing medical mystery of her career. A debilitating neurological toxin has stricken the children of several political families, and one of them is the son of U. S. President Anna Moreland.

With the lives of children on the line, Madeline assembles a team of medical experts. The investigation takes a horrifying turn when she starts receiving communications from the terrorists, who want to engage in a deadly political game.

Desperate to find the perpetrators and a cure, the White House recruits FBI antiterror specialist Quinn Traynor to run a parallel investigation. As the teenagers start dying and the answers seem no closer, Madeline and Quinn fight to prevail before President Moreland is forced to make an impossible choice: give in to the terrorists’ demands or let her only child succumb to an agonizing death.

This is the second book in the phenomenal FBI and CDC Thriller series by USA Today bestselling author Jenifer Ruff. It can be read as a standalone.

Only One Cure: A Medical Thriller

“Once again, Jenifer Ruff delivers a heart-pumping thriller! The well-crafted twists surrounding this medical mystery will keep you guessing until the end.” – Audrey J. Cole – USA Today bestselling author

A tsunami strikes a small island in the Pacific Ocean, leaving destruction and madness in its wake.

After the natural disaster, CDC epidemiologist Dr. Madeline Hamilton and her fiancé, FBI operative Quinn Traynor, go to Nalowale Island to investigate a deadly outbreak of unknown origin. Victims become aggressive and irrational, suffering from insomnia, hallucinations, and eventual death.

But not everyone cooperates with the agents’ efforts to save lives. Devon Wheeler’s fortune depends on completing construction of the Azure Cove Resort. He’s hiding something, and he’ll do whatever it takes to open the luxury complex on time, even if it means concealing critical information related to the outbreak.

When all communications to and from the island shut down and the wave of illness climbs toward a calamitous crash, Madeline uncovers something terrifying…and impossible.

Under quarantine conditions and without the help of modern equipment, Madeline and Quinn must make sense of the bizarre outbreak. The investigation requires huge leaps of faith and significant acts of courage. What they discover and what they take home with them will change lives forever.

“Only One Wave is a gripping thriller led by captivating characters and an enthralling story that will wash over you, page after page. In this harrowing account of the aftermath of a tsunami, Jenifer Ruff takes you to ground zero of the disaster’s mighty power, wrapping it with a haunting mystery. I loved every minute of it.”—Timothy Browne - USA Today bestselling author
