Beyond These Woods

Yosemite to government secret labs to powerful CEOs. Bravo!     -Suzanne Evans

Another Thrilling Yarn by the Author of SAINT From the author of Saint comes a captivating thriller about a lethal microorganism that threatens to annihilate life on earth.

Seventeen loggers die mysteriously at their jobsite in the remote Amazon rainforest. One month later, in the Thunder Peak Wilderness of California’s rugged Sierra range, more bodies are discovered… hunters, hikers and loggers, faces set in stone-like expressions of surprise. Soon after, elk and cattle. What is happening and where will this invisible threat strike next? The terror is spreading and only one individual is courageous enough to face it … Lotte Keene.

A Force of Nature Lotte Keene is an American disease detective by trade and an irrepressible troubleshooter. Resourceful and curious, she solves complex scientific, medical and criminal problems that place her in the path of determined government and corporate interests.

Now, she is about to rewrite the rules of biogenetic science and cross the thin red, white and blue line between American principle and power.

Beyond These Woods delivers page-turning suspense and excitement Lotte Keene is wary of the Centers for Disease Control. Her skeptical relationship with authority and inconvenient habit of being right have stalled her career.

BEYOND THESE WOODS accompanies Keene into one of the most sinister outbreaks ever to threaten life on Earth. It has killed people in Brazil and California and it seems to have a rational purpose – to protect old-growth trees that pre-date history. Is Nature pushing back against encroaching development? Is corporate greed behind the mysterious deaths? Is government testing a new form of warfare? When the capacity of government to respond to the needs of its people is thrown into doubt, Lotte Keene leads where many fear to go.

Lotte’s challenge: save us from an unprecedented threat in an adventure ripped from today’s headlines.
