Publisher Description
By the time Special Investigator Vin Cooper arrives at the murder scene–the shark-infested waters off the Japanese coast–there’s little left of the victim to prove that his death wasn’t an accident. That’s what the military wants Cooper to believe, but he isn’t buying it. What kind of top secret project could the military be engaged in that would require the services of a foremost marine biologist and a genetic researcher? The ominous answer lies at the end of a trail of “accidental” deaths and presumed terrorist acts that leads Cooper to the ultimate showdown–with a secret shadow government convinced that its patriotic duty is to kill anyone who opposes it.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Australian author Rollins's exciting sequel to The Death Trust, Vincent Cooper, now working at the Pentagon as an investigator for the Department of Defense, looks into the suspicious death of Dr. Hideo Tanaka, the victim of a shark attack. In a deep-sea trench off Japan, Tanaka and his research partner, Professor Sean Boyle, had discovered a strange bacterium with the potential to imperil the entire world. Since Vin's long-distance relationship with Maj. Anna Masters, who helped him with the case he pursued in Germany in The Death Trust, is on the rocks, he can't feel too guilty about having torrid sex with his superior officer, Lt. Col. Clare Selwyn. Meanwhile, Vin must also investigate the parachute mishap death of an old comrade from Afghanistan, Master Sgt. Ruben "Wrong Way" Wright. Readers will cheer as the wisecracking Vin refuses to give up in perilous situations that would have discouraged if not killed your average thriller hero.
