Book Synopsis

"A suspenseful thriller that features genuine characters and cuisine from the New Orleans culture, as well as an in depth look at the threat of environmental terrorism." -Gary Gerlacher, bestselling author of the AJ Docker and Banshee Thrillers

When marketing director Valentina Sorelli's cousin loses his Nebraska wheat farm to a mysterious virus, she discovers drone debris in his fields that launches her investigation into a deadly conspiracy threatening America's food supply.

As a graduate student at New Orleans University, Valentina learns that the agricultural disaster isn't natural-it's the result of a calculated attack using weaponized mites to create a grain monopoly. When she uncovers the shocking truth about who's behind the crisis, Valentina must choose between her safety and exposing a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of corporate agriculture.

With the help of classmate Sam Stillman-whose own father may be involved-and a Scottish entomologist whose research was stolen to create the biological weapon, Valentina races to stop the perpetrators before they can eliminate the last hope for America's farmers. But when her plan to gather evidence goes catastrophically wrong, she finds herself trapped in a deadly confrontation that will determine the fate of the nation's food security.
