To fulfill Biblical prophecy, the scourge of humanity is about to be resurrected and released.

A greedy, amoral billionaire plans to unleash a genetically modified strain of smallpox for which he has the only effective antidote. It is scheduled for the anniversary of the 1993 massacre at Waco, Texas.

Bruno Rattenvanger, aka RatCatcher, leads the effort to implement the plot. Aiding him is Doctor BrightAngel, an Afrikaner and expert at weaponizing pathogens.

To avoid detection, RatCatcher connives to dupe Brother John, an apocalyptic televangelist, into taking blame for the approaching pandemic. Under the spell of the Jerusalem Syndrome, Brother John believes he has been chosen by the Archangel Michael to pour out the first bowl of the Third Woe as prophesied in the book of Revelation in the Bible.

Sister Magg, intelligent, attractive and ruthless, undertakes to block this deadly scheme. A former escort and drug addict, she is Brother John's confidant and protector. Joining her is Cheyenne "Jinx" Whyte, a member of Homeland Security's Emergency Search Team. Professional and level-headed, Jinx wants to prove she can handle dangerous fieldwork.

When five ampules of smallpox are smuggled into an antique shop in Manhattan, battlelines are drawn and the countdown begins. The hunt is on.

Flesh and Blood: A Scarpetta Novel
<p>It's Dr. Kay Scarpetta's birthday, and she's about to head to Miami for a vacation with Benton Wesley, her FBI profiler husband, when she notices seven pennies on a wall behind their Cambridge house. Is this a kids' game? If so, why are all of the coins dated 1981 and so shiny they could be newly minted? Her cellphone rings, and Detective Pete Marino tells her there's been a homicide five minutes away. A high school music teacher has been shot with uncanny precision as he unloaded groceries from his car. No one has heard or seen a thing.</p><p>In this 22nd Scarpetta novel, the master forensic sleuth finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence except fragments of copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so perfect they cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techno genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta's own flesh and blood.</p><p>Includes an exclusive excerpt from the riveting next novel in the Kay Scarpetta series, DEPRAVED HEART.</p>
