(A Dr. Alexandra Blake Novel)
by Lori Andrews
When a John Doe with a bayonet wound in his chest is discovered in a Washington, D.C. alley, geneticist Dr. Alexandra Blake of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology is pulled away from her bioterrorism work to aid in the investigation. Just a little digging reveals a corpse that’s not at all that of the homeless robbery victim it was set up to resemble---and Alex and her colleagues find themselves wrapped up in a complicated mystery of high-stakes international financial intrigue.
"Starred Review. [An] outstanding follow-up to 2006's Sequence. The tight plot moves toward its explosive conclusion." - PW.
