On a crisp fall evening in western Nebraska, what started as a group of kids filming their drug-fueled party ends in an explosive light show, leaving the victims apparently electrocuted, with odd scorch marks being the only evidence. While Maggie tries to make sense of the dif¬ferent stories, sifting through what is real and what is hallu-cination, she realizes that the surviving teens are being targeted and systematically eliminated.
Meanwhile on the East Coast, Maggie’s FBI partner, R.J. Tully, and Army colonel Benjamin Platt are 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, Tully, and Platt uncover secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the remote Midwest landscape.
My thoughts
Somewhere on government property in Nebraska a group of kids are nearly electrocuted during a drug party and not far away cattle are being mutilated. This is what FBI agent Maggie O’Dell has to deal with. Meanwhile on the east coast, a group of kids get sick from eating cafeteria food and Maggie’s friend Dr. Benjamin Platt is investigating that. Are these two cases connected or are we reading two stories?
This is the first Maggie O’Dell story I read and although intrigued by the possibility of government conspiracies, I didn’t care for the jumping back from one subplot to the next. It was satisfactory.
