Description
Joe Rush takes on a new terror, spawned in the Amazon rain forest, that threatens to bring the world to its knees in James Abel's latest bio-thriller, now in paperback.
While studying new forms of malaria at an Amazon gold rush, Joe Rush's best friend and partner, Eddie Nakamura, disappears. Learning that many of the sick miners have also vanished, Rush begins a search for Eddie that takes him into the heart of darkness—where while battling for his life, he discovers a secret that may change the world.
Thousands of miles away, sick people are starting to flood into U.S. hospitals. When the White House admits that it has received terrorist threats, cities across the Northeast begin to shut down. Rush and his team must journey from one of the most remote spots on Earth to one of the busiest, as the clock ticks toward a kind of annihilation not thought possible. They have even less time than they think to solve the mystery, for the danger—as bad as it is—is about to get even worse.

May 1, 2017
The pseudonymous Abel’s feverish fourth Joe Rush biothriller (after 2016’s Cold Silence) takes the former Marine medical officer and Eddie Nakamura, his partner and best friend since college, to Brazil, where they investigate resistant strains of malaria and, at the behest of the FBI, look for signs of bioterrorist activity in the Amazonian jungle. Unfortunately, Eddie contracts a virulent strain of the disease and is kidnapped by the mysterious Dr. Cardozo. With the aid of Capt. Izabel Santo of the Brazilian Federal Police, who’s working undercover as a freelance photographer, Rush rescues his friend and discovers that Cardozo has delivered specially bred mosquitos infected with a new deadly malarial parasite to Tom Fargo in the United States. A homegrown terrorist, Fargo starts dispersing the deadly insects in New York City, spreading disease and panic. Abel imbues Fargo with just enough humanity to make his fanaticism all the more chilling. Agent: Esther Newberg, ICM.
