“This biotech thriller delivers . . . Readers who enjoy Michael Crichton . . . or even the nonfiction biothrillers by Richard Preston, will find much to enjoy.” —Booklist

In the wake of personal loss, Philadelphia narcotics detective Doyle Carrick loses his temper—and gains a twenty-day suspension for unprofessional behavior. Now he’s laying low at a house he inherited in rural Pennsylvania. But Doyle quickly discovers that Dunston, PA, has plenty to keep him occupied.

Doyle’s new neighbor, Nola Watkins, is a welcome distraction from his woes. Less welcome are the high-powered drug dealers driving the small-town roads—and the shady development company leaning on Nola to sell her organic farm.

When a drug bust goes bad and the threats against Nola turn violent, Doyle begins to realize that what’s growing in the farmland around Philadelphia is much deadlier than anything he could have imagined . . .
