When a foreign exchange
student is found murdered at an Iowa University, Deputy Sheriff Clyde
Banks finds that his investigation extends far beyond the small college
town--all the way to the Middle East. Shady events at the school reveal
that a powerful department is using federal grant money for highly
dubious research. And what it's producing is a very nasty bug.
Navigating
a plot that leads from his own backyard to Washington, D.C., to the
Gulf, where his Army Reservist wife has been called to duty, Banks
realizes he may be the only person who can stop the wholesale
slaughtering of thousands of Americans. It's a lesson in foreign policy
he'll never forget.
