Publisher's summary

"Only three things in life are guaranteed: You're born, you die, and somewhere in between, if you keep playing the odds, you'll get lucky. What makes me such an expert? Nothing really. My name is Bam Matthews, I'm an FBI agent, and in 48 hours, give or take, I'll either be damn lucky or stone-cold dead. Guaranteed."

And so it goes for Bam Matthews, an FBI agent at the end of his career, who in his own words "should have retired years ago, but other than my job, all I've got is a dog who can beat me at checkers, an old farmhouse in Jersey with a 16 penny nail I drove into the kitchen wall to hang my piece at night, and this Gremlin that I've kept running for 36 years."

The story opens when a New York hit man comes to town and whacks a local drug dealer right under the FBI's nose. A complicated case to crack, but nothing compared to what Bam and his partner find lying on the sidewalk bleeding to death after leaving the murder scene: the first-ever case of Ebola to be reported in the city. This gritty first-person thriller follows a breadcrumb trail through murder, panic, fear, and revenge, drawing you inexorably to an unforgettable heart-pounding conclusion. As one reviewer said, "You can't put this book down."

Note: Some language and situations in this audiobook may not be appropriate for children under 18.

The Blacker Death

There certainly a lot of action packed into this book! This detective has his hands full of problems trying to figure out what is happening to his city. This is an exciting book.

An Interesting Premise, No Zombies

I enjoyed this book. One reason... because I often thought I was listening to Clint Eastwood in his Dirty Harry role. Another, because the character often acted or reacted similarly to Harry Callahan. For me these were enjoyable. Lastly I appreciated the familiar deadly strain story delivered without the mutations and zombies.
