Who killed two thousand innocent people, and how? More importantly, can they be stopped from striking again?

Infectious disease expert Dr. Susan Lyle teams up with Blaine McCracken, ex-CIA operative, in the search for answers. Hideously deformed cadavers and a missing teenage genius are their only leads. The chase takes them all the way down the eastern seaboard and across the country, and they soon realize that at the heart of the puzzle lies a whole new generation of biological weapons. Should the wrong people get their hands on them, no one will be able to prevent the horrifying effect of...The Fires of Midnight.

Reviews

“Land takes a very serious subject and infuses it with enough excitement that no one will be able to put this one down. Start reading early in the day and make no plans, because this is a page-turner that has only one problem. It ends.” —Star Banner (Ocala, Florida)

“As pop paranoid as a good X-Files episode…the story picks up speed rapidly, and entertainingly…A slick and serpentinely constructed triumph.” —Kirkus Reviews

“[A] dazzling political thriller….A page-turner.” —Mystery Books Newsletter
