Reseña del editor:

Deenie, Gabby and Lise are best friends - a tight girl-unit negotiating their way through the troubled waters of their teens, a world of sex, secrets and intense relationships. When first Lise then Gabby falls prey to a mysterious illness, hysteria sweeps their school and, as more girls succumb, Deenie finds herself an outsider, baffled by the terrifying illness and scared that it could all be because of something she has done. Suffering with Deenie are her dad and her brother, both protective of Deenie, but each with secrets of their own . . . The Fever is an explosive novel in which Megan Abbott explores the lethal power of guilt and desire, and how mass hysteria can grip a community, making real our deepest fears.

Contraportada:

There's something bad happening in Dryden.
When Lise Daniels collapses to the floor during math class, a cloud of fear and speculation settles over the school. Parents and teachers scramble to protect the students, but how do you stop what you can't contain?
Because Lise, beautiful Lise, is only the first: one by one the girls become victims, betrayed by their bodies, becoming strangers to themselves.
As hysteria swells, secrets will spill, and the safe world we've been building for our children will start to come apart.
'Nerve-shredding, noirish plots, creeping tension and deep characterisation . . . The best writer of contemporary thrillers working today' Independent on Sunday
'If the phenomenon that led to the Salem Witch trials were to revisit the world today, it might very well look like the scenario in Megan Abbott's engrossing, disturbing, panic attack of a novel, The Fever. It's impossible to put down' Jodi Picoult
'Megan Abbott is a unique talent . . . her best novel yet' Los Angeles Times
