The Devil’s Noose

A life-threatening microbe. A desperate scientist. Can she isolate the disease before terrorists obliterate the world?

But when an unknown pathogen annihilates an entire Asian village, she must bury the nightmares and step up to help prevent a worldwide epidemic.

Joined by doctors, specialists, and a retired special-forces officer, Austen travels to the hot-zone epicenter a mile beneath the city’s surface. But with a crazed microbiologist and a former Soviet soldier after the dangerous organism, this scientist’s fight to save millions of lives could quickly cost her own…. Can Austen contain the killer strain before demented monsters unleash a deadly blight?
