Cold Plague - Daniel Kalla

Cold Plague - Daniel Kalla (2008)
It seemed like a great idea, and I like that the author writing it understands about the science involved. Basically a huge lake is discovered under the antartic surface. This water, has been untouched by pollution, making it the purest water in the world. So of course greedy scientists must extract it and sell it for a gijillion bucks a bottle to the rich and botoxed.

Meanwhile in France a cluster of patients have presented with a rare form of vCJD, and have all had rapidly progressive symptoms before dying within a couple of weeks. Sent to investigate, a team finds itself involved in trying to find out who is responsible for the outbreak.

Typical stuff, and as usual the beginning was interesting, but then I found myself scimming the ending. 2/5
