FBI Task Force
#1
Airport Ranger volunteer Stacy Broussard expected a peaceful Saturday morning
ride around the perimeter of Houston’s airport. What she encounters instead is a
brutal homicide and a baffling mystery. Next to the body is an injured dog, the
dead man’s motorcycle, and a drone armed with a laser capable of taking down a
747.
Though FBI Special Agent Alex LeBlanc sees a clear-cut case of terrorism, his
past has taught him to be suspicious of everyone, even witnesses. Even
bleeding-heart veterinarians like Stacy. But when her gruesome discovery is only
the first in a string of incidences that throw her life into a tailspin, Alex
begins to wonder if Stacy was targeted. As a health emergency endangers Stacy’s
community, and the task force pulls in leads from all directions, Alex and Stacy
must work together to prevent another deadly encounter.
