Detective Dan Cunningham hunts a madman. A very powerful and diabolical madman, known only as Dr. Oblique, who leaves an endless trail of bodies in his wake. Officially, Dr. Oblique doesn't exist, but forces in the government know who he is and what he's after: a military experiment by the name of Elliot whose blood may be the end to disease—-or the perfect weapon. Leah Stearns is an FBI agent caught in the middle of a web. Is she here to help Cunningham stop a madman? Is her mission even officially sanctioned? Who are all these other government agents after Elliot? As the body count climbs, Leah will have to make some hard choices about where her loyalties are.
