About this ebook
Get caught up in this terrifying psychological thriller, book 6 in Alex Kava's acclaimed Maggie O'Dell series.
Veteran FBI profiler Maggie O'Dell and Assistant Director Cunningham believed the threat was targeted at Quantico. But it targeted them.
A deadly virus - virtually undetectable until it causes death from a million internal cuts. The victims appear random, but Maggie wonders if vengeance isn't the guiding hand.
An aficionado of contemporary killers, using bits and pieces from their crimes - the Beltway Sniper's phrases, the Unabomber's clues, the Anthrax Killer's delivery.
Maggie knows dangerous minds, but she must tackle this new opponent from within a biosafety isolation ward - while waiting to see if death is already multiplying inside her body. She just fears her last case might end with the most intelligent killer she's ever faced escalating from murder...to epidemic.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is every bit as good as Kava gets. Psychological thriller!!! People are getting mysterious packages of money in the mail. And then are exposed to a nasty....(I'll leave that for the book)I love the Maggie O'Dell books. The characters are well defined. Kava gives the reader just enough clues that you can almost figure it out. After she reveals the conclusion, I like to re-read it and see how the clues are all there if I was just smart enough to put them together. Can't wait until I get her next book
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A worthwhile read for sure. I listened to it on CD and thoroughly enjoyed the story and suspense, the various locations and characters.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Excellent Maggie O'Dell novel dealing with biological terrorism. Well written with enough twists & turns to keep me guessing until the end.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Maggie O’Dell is an FBI profiler caught up in a home-grown terrorist attack. While following a lead placed in a box of donuts, Maggie and her supervisor are exposed to an unknown virus and quarantined. Although she has yet to feel any symptoms, one of the victim’s dies. Maggie is able to follow leads through a laptop she is given and notices similarities to the names of the victims and the names from previous unsolved cases. She realizes someone is playing with the FBI and it is someone close to the previous cases. There are some characters I wasn’t familiar with since I have missed a couple of the books in the series. But the plot moves pretty quickly, reminiscent of the movie OUTBREAK. An enjoyable thriller.
