Captain Calli Chase races against time to thwart a plot that leaves the fate of humanity hanging in the balance in this new thriller from international bestselling author Patricia Cornwell.

In the aftermath of a NASA rocket launch gone terribly wrong, Captain Calli Chase comes face-to-face with her missing twin sister — as well as the startling truth of who they really are. Now, a top secret program put in motion years ago has spun out of control, and only Calli can redirect its course.

Aided by cutting-edge technologies, the NASA investigator and scientist turned Space Force pilot sets out on a frantic search for the missing link between the sabotaged rocket launch and her predetermined destiny... a search that someone else seems very interested in stopping.

From NASA to the Chase family farm, to the White House to distant orbits of space, Calli plays a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek with a cunning and ruthless adversary. One wrong move will unleash cataclysmic consequences reaching far beyond the boundaries of Earth.

This heart-pounding Captain Chase thriller from Patricia Cornwell will leave readers desperate for more.

Patricia Cornwell

Patricia Cornwell is one of the most captivating voices in the world of crime fiction, known for her razor-sharp precision in blending medical science, forensic investigation, and high-stakes suspense. With her protagonist, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Cornwell revolutionized the thriller genre, crafting a world where the line between the living and the dead is often a thin, bloody thread.

Born in Miami, Florida, in 1956, Patricia grew up in a turbulent environment, a backdrop that would later inform the darkness and complexity of her writing. She studied English at King College in Tennessee before diving into the world of writing and forensic science. Early in her career, Cornwell worked as a reporter, and her investigative background laid the perfect foundation for her debut novel, Postmortem (1990), which introduced readers to Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner who quickly became one of the most iconic characters in crime fiction. The novel not only won the prestigious Edgar Award but also established Cornwell as a force to be reckoned with in the literary world.
