God of Traitors

A strange plague sweeps through the city of Jacksonville in Northern Europe. Virtually everyone in the city is temporarily disabled, even hospitalized. Everyone, that is, except a small number of 'reverse effect' people. Because these people aren't harmed by the plague--they seem to benefit from it. The International Investigation Agency sends its top agents to track down the problem--and uncover the connection between the plague and multinational corporation Toys International. But their activities seem hampered--as if someone in the trusted upper reaches of the Agency was sabotaging, even betraying them. And there is a real mystery--because plague notwithstanding, nobody has died in Jacksonville in three years. Something strange is happening, but whether it's for the good or detriment of mankind remains to be seen
