Een magische combinatie.’ – Hebban.nl Wat voorafging aan Het Programma... De Remedie Quinlan McKee is een zogenaamde sluiter. Sinds haar zevende helpt ze nabestaanden een periode van verdriet af te sluiten .

En dat is nog maar het begin van de problemen, zeker wanneer Quinn de waarheid achter Catalina’s dood ontdekt. En de epidemie die het zou kunnen veroorzaken...
