The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides Dr.
Samantha Owens is starting over: new city, new job, new
man,
new life. She's trying to put some distance between herself
and the devastating loss of her husband and children-but
old
hurts leave scars. Before she's even unpacked her office at
Georgetown University's forensic pathology department,
she's
called to consult on a case that's rocked the capital and
the country. An unknown pathogen released into the
Washington Metro has caused nationwide panic. Three people
died-just three. A miracle and a puzzle... Amid the media
frenzy and Homeland Security alarm bells, Sam painstakingly
dissects the lives of those three victims and makes an
unsettling conclusion. This is no textbook terrorist
causing
mayhem with broad strokes, but an artist wielding a much
finer, more pointed instrument of destruction. An assassin,
whose motive is deeply personal and far from
understandable.
Xander Whitfield, a former Army Ranger and Sam's new
boyfriend, knows about seeing the world in shades of gray.
About feeling compelled to do the wrong thing for the right
reasons. Only his disturbing kinship with a killer can lead
Sam to the truth...and once more into the line of fire.
