Devil of a Crime

THE FINAL CHAPTER IN THE EXCITING, SIX-BOOK BLAKE MEYER THRILLER SERIES!

A Teetering Pact
A Treasonous Plan
A Treacherous Perpetrator

Tracking his children all the way to Albania, Blake Meyer and his team now have Jacob and Little Sara safely aboard a plane, flying home to be reunited with their mother. Blake knows Sara will be overjoyed to see her children safely home, but he’s not sure she’ll feel the same way about him.

While Blake believes he’s nearing the end of this hellish ordeal, a vocal congresswoman is arrested for allegedly conspiring to release the contagion on U.S. soil. Then, a news report hits the airwaves: a crowded hotel in Las Vegas has been locked down, the apparent target of a biological attack. People inside are dying as health officials gather to assess the frightening situation.

Is this the beginning of Colin Murphy’s end game? Is the congresswoman the mole? Are all of Blake’s efforts too little, too late?

It is Blake Meyer’s career-long fight for peace versus Colin Murphy’s vengeful plot to wreak global havoc and force others to live in fear.

Blake’s marriage is in jeopardy. His children are scarred. His country is under attack. And the social fabric of the entire civilized world is on the verge of mass extinction.

In the end, if Murphy’s cohorts succeed, what will truly matter, if hundreds of millions of people all over the globe die? Will the dead rest in peace? Will the living have any peace left to experience?

For when the dust finally settles, what is true peace after all?
