The unthinkable becomes stark reality in this gripping novel by a master of medical suspense. Experts agree that a bioterrorism event in the United States is inevitable, just a matter of time. New York City cab driver Yuri Davydov, a disillusioned Russian émigré, is determined to return to his homeland after seven years of disappointment in the U.S. He feels betrayed by the American Dream, which he believes has denied him happiness and opportunity. With a background as a technician in the Soviet biological weapons industry, Yuri has the expertise to enact his revenge on a large scale, especially after joining forces with far-right survivalists who share his disdain for the U.S. government. Together, they steal the necessary materials to launch Operation Wolverine. Meanwhile, forensic pathologists Dr. Jack Stapleton and Dr. Laurie Montgomery, last seen in Chromosome 6, are investigating two seemingly unrelated cases in the medical examiner’s office. Jack diagnoses a rare anthrax case, while Laurie examines the remains of a tortured skinhead. As they begin to connect the dots, they realize they must solve the puzzle before Yuri and his allies unleash a devastating modern bioweapon.
