Synopsis

An heiress and a veteran are on a charitable mission when they find a mass grave at an illegal clinic that sends them on a pulse-pounding race against time in the opening salvo of this highly acclaimed thriller series.

Join the thousands of Sabel Security fans who call athlete-heiress Pia Sabel and fabled veteran Jacob Stearne old friends and give the series a full five stars.

While on Borneo, Pia Sabel and Jacob Stearne stumble into a gruesome lab where the sick and dying share shocking symptoms. By the time they get home to DC, their friend develops the same mysterious illness. As they work to expose the international conspiracy, a vicious adversary plots to silence them. Complicating their rush to find an antidote is their discovery that the virus’ DNA was manmade—and if unleashed—could wipe out large sectors of the population.

Pia has survived multiple attempts on her life since her parents’ brutal murders at age four. She’s worked hard and trained to fend for herself, but the forces arrayed against her are sometimes overwhelming. That’s where legendary and decorated veteran Jacob Stearne comes in. Can she count on him to control the voice in his head long enough to unravel the plot against humanity?

Racing from five-star hotels in DC to seedy pharmaceutical plants in rural China, Pia and Jacob must move fast to save their friend and the world from a pharmaceutical company that has engineered a disease only its proprietary drug can cure.

Interview with Seeley James from DigiWriting.com

DW: Do readers really compare Pia and Jacob to other literary heroes and heroines? SJ: I’ve heard Pia Sabel compared to Jack Reacher many times because she’s a straight-forward, no-nonsense heroine who beats the crap out of people. Recently, I’ve heard Jacob Stearne in the same breath as Stephanie Plum because of his whacky lifestyle and romantic problems. It’s appropriate because he’s our comic-relief character. DW: What is your favorite book of all time? How has it influenced you and your writing? I don’t have just one. One Shot by Lee Child, because it has such an intricate set of clues, ranks right up there with First Drop by Zoe Sharp, because she nailed the teenagers with incredible insight and humor. DW: Did you always want to be a writer or did you fall into the profession? I was nineteen and single when I adopted a three-year-old girl and raised her (More about that on my site, http://seeleyjames.com/about/ ). Kids need a lot of money and attention, so I worked in the upwardly mobile tech industry. Later in life, my career afforded me the ability to take a huge risk. DW: Which authors have had a profound impact on your writing? SJ: Gillian Flynn because she thinks way outside the Agatha Christie formula. Janet Evanovich because her books are just plain fun. J. D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) has some phenomenal writing techniques. Daniel Silva, Harlan Coben, Russell Blake, John Sandford, James Rollins, A. G. Riddle, Lance Charnes, the list just goes on and on…

Présentation de l'éditeur

When you stumble onto a mass grave and mercenaries bolt from the jungle to hunt you down.Get the opening salvo in the bestselling Sabel Security series and dive into a world of adventure, thrills, and humor today.

Veteran bodyguard Jacob Stearne aims to spend quality time with his heiress-boss during a charitable mission to Borneo. Building a school seems simple enough until the locals give chase. She won’t say what she did to provoke them, but providing her protection just flipped from being a mini-vacation to a death sentence.

Athlete Pia Sabel intended to put her fortune to use helping educate isolated children. When corrupt officials force her to flee, she remains haunted by the sight of dead and dying villagers. Without evidence of murder, international authorities dismiss her as simply rich and spoiled. Her obsession even grates on the Sabel Security team. Then one of their own contracts a highly contagious disease.

Her friend is near death. A mole in her ranks tries to destroy her. Pia turns to Jacob and his questionable sanity to help bring the guilty to justice. When their primary suspects turn up dead, she must recalculate the evidence. Can Jacob and Pia expose the conspiracy before a tyrant unleashes an apocalyptic virus?
