"Is it possible to ever really start over? To find yourself after a tragedy?...Dr. Samantha Owens had lost her husband and her twins in the Nashville floods two and half years ago, and lost part of herself, too. She's come to D.C. the shell of a person, one going through the motions, a breathing ghost." She has taken a break from her career as a M. E. to teach at George Washington and Georgetown Universities. When an airborne toxin is released in the Washington, DC metro causing massive evacuation, pulmonary distress, and several confirmed deaths, Sam is drawn into the investigation. Xander Whitfield, a former army ranger, survivalist, and son of hippies, becomes intimately involved in the investigations, also. He is Sam's new boyfriend and is very much afraid he knows the perpetrator. This page-turner is most entertaining, surprising, and eminently believable.
"Grief changes you...it mutates your soul, your emotions, your thoughts."
