Publisher's Summary:

On a crisp Autumn evening in western Nebraska, what started as a group of kids filming their drug-fuelled party ends in an explosive light show, leaving the victims apparently electrocuted, with odd scorch marks being the only evidence.

While Maggie O'Dell tries to make sense of the different stories, sifting through what is real and what is hallucination, she realises that the surviving teens are being targeted and systematically eliminated. Meanwhile on the East Coast, Army colonel Benjamin Platt is at the scene of a deadly outbreak, desperate to identify the pathogen that has infected children at a Virginia elementary school. Despite the miles that separate them, the two cases collide as Maggie and Platt uncover secrets that were meant to stay hidden

Critic Reviews:

"Move over Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs and Karin Slaughter... Alex Kava steals the chills from these erstwhile ladies of crime." (Guardian)

Members Reviews:

Too slow at the beginning, rushed through at the end

Interesting plot but feels rushed through at the end. Some loose ends. The author provides so much information about secondary characters throughout the book but it's not clear what exactly happened to the main character. It's very frustrating.

Spoiler

Maggie was saved from being shot by a dog, but what happened after the dog bit an attacker? Maggie is injured, practically half-conscious, and alone with too bad guys (one hogtied, another bitten by a dog). How did she get out of there? How the dog found her? What was going on in that lab?

Great book

Great read. In this book we have kids doing drugs in a field seeing strange lights. One of them ends up wrapped in barbed wire. We also have mutilated cattle turning up on farmers fields. The eyes ears and insides are gone. Taken by some unknown person. Two investigators and two separate crimes in two different places. It ends up one amazing read.

Another good book by Alex Kava

I read all the previous books right in a row, then took a break for a bit. I enjoyed coming back to Maggie O'Dell. It was another suspenseful mystery. I do wish we learned a bit more of the "why" and not just who the bad guy was. I also missed Gwen and Tully!! Never the less, I still enjoyed it very much. I am going to order her next book in the series now.

There's nothing like a good Government conspiracy story ...

that, plus Maggie O'Dell made for a fun and exciting read. I am disabled, so I have loads of time for reading. Also, I read really fast. Even so, every one of Alex Kava' s Maggie O'Dell novels seems to have flown by. I've been buying two books at a time so I can start the next one right away. I am delighted to say that I am a confirmed Maggie O'Dell fan. As a multi dog owner, I'm very interested in how Jake and Harvey will get along.

Awesome book but left you hanging

I liked this book but wanted more. The alien encounter was a bit much however the author always left you wanting to keep reading
