A Desert Noir Thriller That’s Your Next Great Read

Lightning and thunder hit a desert mountain

A violent storm, a mysterious dog, and a deadly secret that will change everything.

Adam Barnett wakes in a driving, nighttime storm with no memory of how he got there, electricity still crackling up his arms and a strange dog he names Mop licking his face.

Adam assumes his memory loss came from the lightning. He is wrong.

Somewhere in the Arizona mountains, a classified government program has come unravelled. The researchers are dead. The patients have escaped. And whatever they’ve become — fast, vicious, and nearly impossible to kill — they’re hunting Adam for something he doesn’t remember.

As an Army Ranger investigates the massacre at Biodosius Labs and a rancher with a killer’s voice living in her head races toward the danger instead of away from it, Adam finds himself at the center of a conspiracy that reaches from a small Arizona mountain town to the highest levels of the United States government.

The only one who knows the whole truth is Mop — and he’s not talking.
