An epidemic strikes down young girls while a wave of abortion clinic bombings terrorizes the nation. Matt Bugatti, the famous young mathematician, leads a fact finding commission to find the truth, entering a world of danger and deception that threatens his life and challenges his most deeply-held beliefs.
Matt Bugatti is living the dream, teaching at a university near his home town of Raleigh, North Carolina, guiding his students, their young minds mastering the intricacies of higher mathematics, Matt enjoying the freedom to pursue purely intellectual ends. But events, as always, intervene.
A mysterious epidemic strikes down young girls, their gruesome deaths the object of speculation from every political and ideological quarter, as a wave of abortion clinic bombings terrorizes the nation. The factions stake out their positions: a global drug company, a presidential hopeful, and a brilliant and beautiful political operative, all maneuver to gain an advantage in a game of politics, principles and profit. When the president forms a fact-finding commission to discover the truth, he calls on Matt to lead it. Matt accepts, plunging him into a world of deceit and danger, destroying his most cherished beliefs.
Excerpt
“Liddie is dying.”
Ann Novotny heard the words but they made no sense. Liddie is dying? What does that mean? Her little girl, not yet sixteen, was sick—that she knew—but Liddie had been sick before. Children get sick—they don’t die. She stared blankly at her husband, Lew, as he repeated, “Liddie is dying.” She shook her head. He might as well have been speaking Swahili.
