A family reunion in northern Iowa plunks Marley Clark in the midst of a murder spree that spooks the Pentagon, baffles the FBI and takes her loved ones hostage. It begins when Marley attempts to save a billionaire who tumbles from a double-decker tourist boat captained by Marley’s cousin. But the victim—founder of a biotech empire—is dead before his body hits the water, and soon Marley’s consoling the widow, an old college friend and the prime murder suspect.
As the killer engineers more exotic biotech deaths, worries grow
about a link to terrorists and biological weapons. To unmask the
villains, Marley taps homegrown resources and debates the wisdom
of trusting a sexy attorney with a murky past and a plead-the-fifth grin.
NO WAKE ZONE is the second mystery featuring Marley Clark, a
52-year-old retired Army intelligence officer. The series dishes up heart-pounding suspense with a generous side of romance.
