"Highways in Hiding" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novel published in 1956. When a mysterious spaceborne illness called Mekstrom's Disease begins turning victims into stone, a secret society establishes hidden highways and safe houses to shelter the infected.

A cure exists, but those who possess it remain in the shadows, creating an underground network invisible to ordinary society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
