In New York Times bestselling author Alex Kava’s new thriller, Special Agent Maggie O’Dell investigates the death of three teenagers, only to find herself in the middle of a conspiracy involving biological warfare.

On a crisp fall evening in western Nebraska, what started as a group of kids filming their drug-induced party ends in an explosive light show, leaving the victims apparently electrocuted, with odd scorch marks being the only evidence. While Maggie tries to make sense of the different stories, sifting through what is real and what is hallucination, she realizes that the surviving teens are being targeted and systematically eliminated.

Meanwhile, on the East Coast, Army Colonel Benjamin Platt is at the scene of a deadly outbreak, desperate to identify the pathogen that has infected children at a Washington, D.C., elementary school. Despite the miles that separate them, the two cases collide as Maggie and Platt uncover secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the remote Midwest landscape.

Review:

Outstanding... A sizzling plot, achingly real characters, and government officials working their backsides off to save their backsides, all strike as lethally as lightning. Publisher Weekly Starred Review Rip-roaring action that only builds in intensity with every page. Tess Gerritsen Move over Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs and Karin Slaughter, there's a new forensics investigator in town. Guardian O'Dell could be Reacher's long-lost twin. Lee Child
