An Infectious Game

Zoe Schmidt has spent a lifetime cultivating some very dangerous friends. They're microscopic, deadly, and almost impossible to trace.

Brilliant, beautiful, and deeply disturbed, Zoe is a gifted physician and scientist with an extraordinary command of genetics and microbiology. What begins as a fascination with the invisible world evolves into something far more sinister as she learns to breed, alter, and weaponize microorganisms with terrifying precision.

To Zoe, murder isn't simply about killing. It's an experiment. A challenge. An art.

And eventually, a game.

From university laboratories to a secluded facility hidden in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, Zoe quietly builds an arsenal unlike anything conventional investigators are prepared to confront. Her victims leave behind a baffling trail of seemingly unrelated deaths, while her expertise opens the door to an international underworld where biological weapons can be worth a fortune.

But even the most meticulous killer can make a mistake.

As investigators begin connecting the pieces, Zoe's carefully constructed world starts closing in around her. The hunt expands across agencies and borders, and the stakes rise far beyond identifying a serial killer. The same knowledge Zoe has used to destroy individual lives could now threaten thousands more.

Zoe knows they're coming.

She also has something she wants them to see.

Part psychological thriller, part medical thriller, and part international crime story, An Infectious Game follows a brilliant killer whose deadliest weapons are the ones no one can see.

In the end, it's not just a game. It's humanity's life on the line.
