Absolutely gripping. A fast-paced story that opens the lid on the secret world of the laboratory and shows us what scientists are really like--as human and fallible as the rest of us., Within the stylish package of a pacey thriller, Jennifer Rohn gives us a glimpse of what it's really like to work in a scientific laboratory: the academic rivalries and jealousies, the gender politics, the frustrations of painstaking experimental work and the excitement of new ideas and breakthroughs. For once in a science-based novel, everything here is plausible - which makes it all the more alarming, and all the more compelling., "Within the stylish package of a pacey thriller, Jennifer Rohn gives us a glimpse of what it's really like to work in a scientific laboratory: the academic rivalries and jealousies, the gender politics, the frustrations of painstaking experimental work and the excitement of new ideas and breakthroughs. For once in a science-based novel, everything here is plausible - which makes it all the more alarming, and all the more compelling." - award-winning author of Critical Mass - Philip Ball, " Cat Zero is that rare beast, a racy novel with a sound scientific background. Postdocs will love it. Ph.D.s will gasp. And the general reader will enjoy a smart romantic thriller in which an intelligent, independent and, yes, beautiful, researcher confronts her demons while fighting to succeed in a male-dominated world. Will she find love along the way? Read it to find out--I did, and loved it!" -- Simon Mawer, author of Man Booker Prize-shortlisted The Glass Room , Trapeze , The Fall and Mendel's Dwarf, Cat Zero is that rare beast, a racy novel with a sound scientific background. Postdocs will love it. Ph.D.s will gasp. And the general reader will enjoy a smart romantic thriller in which an intelligent, independent and, yes, beautiful, researcher confronts her demons while fighting to succeed in a male-dominated world. Will she find love along the way? Read it to find out--I did, and loved it!, " Cat Zero weaves together the complicated, sometimes archaic, social hierarchies of researchers with the thrill of a new scientific discovery. But you don't have to know anything about science to follow along with the mysteries in this book: Why are cats falling ill in Kent? What's going on with Artie's strange colleagues down the hall? And will she hook up with her postdoc--or should she stay away? At the end of the book, we have some answers. But like real scientific discovery, the end is just the start of a whole new set of possibilities." - easternblot.net - Eva Amsen, "Absolutely gripping. A fast-paced story that opens the lid on the secret world of the laboratory and shows us what scientists are really like--as human and fallible as the rest of us." -- Pippa Goldschmidt, author of The Falling Sky and The Need for Better Regulation of Outer Space, "A potent mix of science, thrills and romance... Fans of Michael Crichton will love it." -- Mark Edwards, author of number-one bestsellers The Magpies and Because She Loves Me, "A mysterious outbreak of cat plague sends an intrepid virologist on a hunt to find the source of contagion in this gripping page-turner. Nobody writes about scientists quite like Jennifer Rohn, who captures not just the technical details of research, but also the complex humanity of the endeavor." - Cocktail Physics - Jennifer Ouellette

Synopsis
Sexism, Secrets and Science: Cat Zero by Jennifer Rohn Scientist Artie Marshall is perpetually underfunded, relegated to a damp basement, and besieged on all sides by sexist colleagues. Added to that, she is immersed in a messy divorce. But she's never been happier, studying an obscure cat virus that nobody else in the world seems to have heard of - or cares about. Everything changes when local cats start dropping dead and Artie's arcane little research problem becomes worryingly relevant. Matters get worse when people start getting infected too. Working with her right-hand man Mark, her vet friends and her street-smart technician, Artie races to get to the bottom of the ballooning epidemic. Unexpected assistance arrives in the form of two basement-dwelling mathematicians - a sociopathic recluse and his scary, otherworldly savant mentor. When their mathematical models suggest that the cat plague might actually be more sinister than it first appears, Artie gets drawn into a web of secrets and lies that threatens to blow apart her lab family, undermine her sanity - and endanger her own life., Artie Marshall is a scientist.
