Summary: "From molecular biologist turned Anthony Award-winning author of The Killing Kind comes a fact-based thriller about our species' next great existential threat--perfect for fans of Michael Crichton. It began four years ago with a worldwide uptick of bacterial infections: meningitis in Frankfurt, cholera in Johannesburg, tuberculosis in New Delhi. Although the outbreaks spread aggressively and proved impervious to our drugs of last resort, public health officials initially dismissed them as unrelated. They were wrong. Antibiotic resistance soon roiled across the globe. Diseases long thought beaten came surging back. The death toll skyrocketed. Then New York City was ravaged by the most heinous act of bioterror the world had ever seen, perpetrated by a new brand of extremist bent on pushing humanity to extinction. Detective Jacob Gibson, who lost his wife in the 8/17 attack, is home caring for his sick daughter when his partner summons him to a sprawling shantytown in Central Park, the apparent site of a mass murder. Jake is startled to discover that, despite a life of abject squalor, the victims died in perfect health--and his only hope of finding answers is a twelve-year-old boy on the run from some very dangerous men."--provided by publisher.

Summary: "A disgraced ex-CIA operative must return to the field with only his ex-wife as his handler in this electrifying thriller from a former intelligence officer. A single well-placed American asset has kept Iran's secret uranium enrichment from hitting weapons-grade. For the last decade, a mild-mannered Iranian physicist has enabled a CIA hack into software controlling Iran's gas-centrifuge arrays. But now the saboteur has gone dark, off grid-and he's cut Langley's access until he gets what he wants. Spurred by a tragic accident, the mole has turned the tables, blackmailing his American spymasters. His one demand: an exfil by the only man at CIA he ever trusted-his former handler, John Dale. Without Dale, the asset will expose the hack. Too bad Dale wants nothing to do with CIA. He's barely shaken his rage at Langley, who'd exiled him after an ISIS raid went sideways. Challenging Dale's allegiance, his former bosses had even gone so far as to declare him persona non grata, stripping him of his pension, and worse-his honor. But they need Dale back now, fast. Iranian counterintelligence is closing in. CIA's last firewall against a nuclear terror state is about to crumble. Langley has one final card to play. Senior case officer Meredith Morris-Dale, John's ex-wife, might be able to salvage their shattered bond just enough to recruit Dale for one final mission. An expert handler herself, she'll need to use every trick in the book to get John back in the field. As Meredith and John struggle through their fraught relationship, a craven CIA political hierarchy, Russian interference, and the rogue spy's manipulation, they must reach deep within their shared connection to maintain, recover...or terminate the asset"--
