“It’s
a hunt forward op,” the president said, “and your target is America’s first
home-grown terrorist cell.”
His
request propels brilliant cyber sleuth Zuri Slade into the clandestine world of
espionage, where failure can endanger thousands of American lives and blow Zuri’s
chance for a career with the CIA.
Tracking
the terrorists leads Zuri from Washington, D.C. to a Midwest backwater, where residents
suffer a peculiar illness, the “Van Gogh Syndrome.” Death looms over the stricken community, but
there’s an even larger threat, one Zuri could never have anticipated.
Psychotic
nuclear scientist, Dr. Burch Crabtree, is plotting with legendary North Korean
spy, Cobra, to blow the nuclear plant, using a chip stolen from the CIA after
the Korean War. Only Jesse Stephenson, a
former CIA spy, knows where the chip is, but Jesse’s dying of cancer.
Is
this fight too personal, or will Zuri confront America’s enemies—and personal
demons, her hate for those who murdered her parents—in time?
Mary
McFarland’s “Van Gogh Syndrome” pulls readers into the new frontier of war, a
war that has ignited in cyberspace but one that will be finished in America’s
back yard by terrorists whose identities no one can predict. A thriller for lovers of the chase, “Van Gogh
Syndrome” is the series kickoff and an explosive look at conflicts faced by
America’s warriors on the cyber war frontier.
An action-packed read recommended for Baldacci and Clancy fans.
