Inside its walls, a community of survivors scratches out a terrifying existence. Outside, hordes of undead pound relentlessly against the barriers and rattle the gates of the humans' last sanctuary - Eden.Overnight, the world transforms into a barren wasteland ravaged by plague and overrun by hordes of flesh-eating zombies. In the aftermath of the gruesome destruction of New York City and its inhabitants, a small band of desperate men and women stand their ground in a fortified compound in what had once been the outer borough of Queens. Those who built the walls of Eden fell prey long ago to the undead... those who remain survive by sheer determination, camaraderie, and human ingenuity, making forays into the outside world through the network of pipes under the city streets.Harris - the exceptional honest man in this dead world - races against time to solve a murder while fighting to maintain his own humanity. Ultimately, the danger posed by the undead and diseased masses clawing at Eden's walls pales in comparison to the deceit and treachery Harris faces within.(Description from back cover of trade paperback edition)
