From internationally bestselling author Jamie Freveletti
comes a riveting new thriller featuring brilliant
biochemist Emma Caldridge, except this time there's
nowhere to run. . . . Emma Caldridge is on mile thirty-six
of the fifty-five-mile Comrades ultramarathon in South
Africa when a roadside car bomb explodes. Dazed and
disoriented, she regains consciousness after the blast to
find a man standing over her with a white plastic
injector. She feels the prick of a needle and the rush of
medication under her skin, but before she can make a
sound, the man is gone. Shaken by the event and unsure of
what substance was pumped into her, Emma calls the one
person who can help her figure things out: Edward Banner
of the security company Darkview. But Banner has his hands
full with another emergency: Somali pirates in the Gulf of
Aden have attacked a cruise ship, and Darkview has been
hired to assist with the rescue. However, according to
intelligence sources, the ship is carrying cargo far more
valuable than wealthy passengers—something that could be a
new weapon of unknown origin. Suspecting the weapon may be
chemical in nature, Banner asks Emma to infiltrate the
ship and use her professional expertise to identify it.
Emma knows it's a risky job, one that she might not
survive. But when she learns that special agent Cameron
Sumner—a man who has saved her life in the past—is among
the hostages, nothing will stop her from getting onboard,
no matter what the cost.
