by Robin Cook

New York cab driver Yuri Davydov is a disgruntled Russian immigrant ready to lash out at his adoptive nation, which he believes has denied him the American Dream. As a former technician in the Soviet Union's biological weapons system, Yuri knows how to wreak havoc in his new home. But before he executes his masterpiece of vengenance, he experiments first on selected targets. Dr Jack Stapleton begins to witness some unusual cases in his capacity as forensic pathologist in the City medical examiner's office. A Greek immigrant apparently succumbs to sudden overwhelming pneumonia, while an obese Afro-American woman collapses with acute respiratory distress. When an unexpected coincidence suggest to Jack that these seemingly unrelated deaths are actually connected murders, his colleagues and superiors remain sceptical. Meanwhile he is taking himself deeper into deadly danger - but can he reach the heart of the puzzle before Davydov and his associates unleash into the streets of New York the ultimate terror: a modern bio-weapon?

Me enteré tarde de que este es parte de una serie, aunque para ser sinceros no lo noté demasiado. Thriller médico casi estándar (no todos incluyen bioterroristas) con malos malosísimos y buenos buenosísimos. El estilo de escritura, curiosamente, no es bueno y además te das cuenta de que no es bueno. Todo lo contrario que Dan Brown, que cuenta unas historias de mierda pero lo hace de tal manera que estás pasando páginas sin darte cuenta. Se acaba pero desaparece del sistema tan rápido como entró.
