Okay, so there are already two points, secluded island and primate research facility.
On a secluded island, Loggerhead, there is a primate research facility.
Virals starts off with a very interesting idea that actually produced a bit of goose bumps on my arms. After having recently explored another Young Adult crime book, that of Niall Leonard's “Crusher”, I got the feeling that this crime sub-genre had a lot to offer and Virals really got my attention. Virals is the introduction of Kathy Reichs into the Young Adult range, centring around the niece of Temperance Brennan, Tory Brennan. Kathy Reichs is well known for writing the hit TV series Bones and for the adult forensic series “Temperance Brennan” on which the TV series Bones is based upon. When the group rescues a dog caged for medical testing on a nearby island, they are exposed to an experimental strain of canine parvovirus that changes their lives forever.Īs the friends discover their heightened senses and animal-quick reflexes, they must combine their scientific curiosity with their newfound physical gifts to solve a cold-case murder that has suddenly become very hot if they can stay alive long enough to catch the killer's scent.įortunately, they are now more than friends they're a pack. Tory Brennan, niece of acclaimed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (of the Bones novels and hit TV show), is the leader of a ragtag band of teenage "sci-philes" who live on a secluded island off the coast of South Carolina.
