Twenty years ago an immoral Russian oligarch known only as The Eel nearly succeeded in his chilling goal: to launch a viral pandemic for which he possessed the only vaccine. Now he has resurfaced with an even more terrifying plan.
FBI Special Agent Beth Jankewicz, obsessed with finding The Eel throughout her career, teams with the striking Bermudian MI-6 Agent who has uncovered the billionaire’s identity, both needing to learn the details of The Eel’s devastating new scheme. They must infiltrate the oligarch’s household, placing someone in close proximity to the lethally cunning man and his brutal consigliere Sergei, recruiting and training a young woman who has her own reasons to hate these men. Her mission takes her from an opulent London mansion and private jet, to the academic splendor of Oxford, then to a cliffside lair and secret grotto in Bermuda as she risks all to save millions from disease and death.
This sequel to the thriller Thorax stands on its own, coursing from Baltimore to Bermuda, from London and Oxford to Russia, introducing vile villains and remarkable women warriors, ultimately a testament to the untapped strength in us all.
