It starts quietly enough. A tick-tick-ticking you can hear in your ear. Tinnitus, you think. It will pass. But it doesn't. It gets worse - and then you pass it on.

Before you know it, it spreads. Elsewhere across the globe, it emerges: small outbreaks at ?rst, but then suddenly it's a plague - and only days later it is already killing people.

In an increasingly affected north London school, teacher Kit Chaplin is struggling to understand what he is witnessing. Even Lilly Slater, his partner and an eminent vaccinologist, can't work out what's happening. As it spreads, little by little, they are inexorably drawn into the mystery behind the illness. And what they discover will change the world as they know it...

Exciting and urgently contemporary, this piercingly insightful novel tells the story of a global catastrophe through the eyes of the three people at the heart of the storm.

Kritikerstimmen

Tick Tock is an unnervingly plausible and scintillatingly paced thriller
Thrilling
Cracking
The characters are well observed, the dialogue effortless and the twists and turns never-ending
Mayo spools out his many twists and turns skillfully. A slice of scary, escapist fun
Cleverly and credibly, Mayo turns his medical thriller into something of a spy thriller...[the] dialogue is a joy throughout
Alle Sterne
Am relevantesten
Spannendes Thema, interessante Figuren. Stimmige Auflösung, mit nem Twist im letzten Absatz.
Der Sprecher macht einen guten Job. Ich bin mir allerdings nicht sicher, ob ich den teilweise sehr stakkato-artigen Schreibstil des Autors wirklich mag.
