He's saved countless lives in the ER. Now his patients are losing something beyond life. Will his daughter be next?
When patients arrive in the emergency department awake and stable--but unable to make even simple decisions--Dr. Zack Winston knows this isn't a coincidence. A new threat has arrived, and it's spreading.
As Zack searches for answers, the danger propagates. His daughter, a first-year neurosurgery resident, questions high-tech procedures meant to heal, and the mentors who should guide her career.
His wife, a United States Attorney, watches a federal case collapse when a key witness unravels to utter apathy before the grand jury.
These apparently isolated cases now congeal and point to a hidden abuse of power. To what extent will the perpetrators go to avoid exposure?
This time, the enemy doesn't kill. It controls. Without mercy.
