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, anytime 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 bio-safety 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.

About the Author: Before writing novels full-time, Alex Kava spent fifteen years in advertising, marketing and public relations.

She is a member of Sisters in Crime, the Mystery Writers of America and International Thriller Writers. Alex divides her time between Omaha, Nebraska, and Pensacola, Florida.

About the Performer: Tanya Eby Sirois is a freelance voiceover artist and writer with over ten years in narration experience. She discovered a love for acting (and audiobooks) at the age of sixteen while struggling through William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying”. She just couldn’t understand it. In desperation, she went into her backyard, sat at a picnic table and began to read the book aloud. In this way she discovered the beauty and musicality of words spoken aloud, and how those words create pictures. Since then, she’s narrated several audiobooks and numerous commercials. Her love of the spoken word has taken her to the stage, and also encouraged her to write her own work. She has penned and produced four plays, published two short stories and a comic book, and is putting the finishing touches on her first novel. She has a B.A. in English from Grand Valley State University and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine. She lives in Michigan with her husband and two children.
