Plague
To poison them without having the pleasure of watching them suffer would fall well short of the mark.
By tomorrow, when the toxin is coursing through their bloodstreams, I will set in motion the second part of my plan: to bear witness to their agony.
NO ONE CAN SURVIVE HIM.
At Franklin Children's Hospital, an inexplicable disease is reaching terrifying proportions. One by one, the patients of pediatrician Annick Clement are dying. Tracing it to a strain of killer toxin, she's made a chilling discovery.
NO ONE CAN PREDICT HIM.
The deaths are not coincidence. They're not accidents. It's the unfathomable scheme of a bioterrorist—a medical genius working in Annick's own shadow, and possessed by a diabolical compulsion to kill.
NO ONE CAN STOP HIM.
For Annick, stopping him means laying her own life on the line. And fast. Because the terror is spreading.

Before I first set pen to paper as a novelist some twenty years ago, I was a fulltime pediatric surgeon. I completed eight years of surgical training at the Ohio State University and remain an ardent fan. The question I’m asked most often is; how did you find the time to write novels and attend to a busy pediatric surgical practice at the same time? The simple answer is when you spend every waking hour pursuing your life’s passions, you can always find time. But I will admit that having more time now is a luxury that I enthusiastically embrace. It affords me the opportunity to devote more time to writing, and to get more involved with my readers.
