Agent Maggie O'Dell and Assistant Director Cunningham
believe they're responding to a threat made at Quantico.
Instead they walk into a trap. Before they realize it,
they've both been exposed to a killer who can strike at
anyone, at any time, and no one can predict who might be
next…until it's too late.
The killer's tactics suggest he's an aficionado of criminal
minds. He uses bits and pieces from those he admires: a
phrase from the Beltway Snipers, a clue from the Unabomber,
a delivery method similar to the Anthrax Killer. His weapon
is a deadly virus, virtually invisible and totally
unexpected. His victims appear to be random but, in fact,
they are chosen with a revengeful precision. The vaccine is
limited and untested. Maggie knows dangerous minds—from hauntingly perverse child
predators to cunningly twisted serial killers. Now she
faces a new opponent from inside an isolation ward at a
biosafety containment hospital. Maggie must help Agent R.
J. Tully find clues to catch the killer—while waiting to
see if the deadly strain is already multiplying in her
body. With every new exposure there's the potential for an
epidemic. And Maggie knows she and Cunningham may not live
long enough to discover who is the deadliest, most
intelligent killer they've ever profiled.
