Half the population is Muslim, the other half are Orthodox Greeks, and tension is high between the two. When a plague arrives, the island revolts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo stop the epidemic, an accomplished quarantine expert races to the island, but not everyone is happy with the precautions or the quarantine he enforces. What follows is a shocking murder. The plague continues its rapid spread and stricter quarantine measures are declared, but the incompetence of the island's governor, increased hostility between the two religions, and the people's refusal to respect the bans doom the quarantine to failure. As the death count rises to insurmountable amounts, warships blockade the island to keep the disease from spreading. Now the people of Mingheria are on their own, and they must find a way to defeat the plague themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSteeped in history and rife with suspense, \u003ci\u003eNights of Plague\u003c\/i\u003e is an epic story set more than one hundred years ago, with themes that feel remarkably contemporary.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eORHAN PAMUK won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006.
