Caution: (from author) This book is firmly in PG-13 territory. The protagonist is LDS and his standards are reflected by the book’s themes, descriptions, and language.

The adventure that began in fire and terror in the night sky over London has brought
Jack Flynn and his friends together again, to strike a blow against the forces of a brilliant,
sadistic technologist bent on unspeakable destruction. Yet a single blow by itself has not
turned the tide of this secret war, and Jack must divide his team to realize any chance of defeating the hidden army arrayed against them.

Mercedes Adams evades the assassins sent against her only to be visited by a more dangerous, intimate threat from her past. As her path brings her closer and closer to Jack — on a mad dash from Paris to San Francisco to Los Angeles to Havana, Cuba — Mercedes discovers the hope of survival and salvation in the lessons learned years ago in the freshness of youth, lessons learned by an eager boy, a maverick, an earnest novice … a Tyro.

But when she returns to work she finds her lab under security lockdown, and later, that her apartment has been ransacked. She realizes the attack in the deli was anything but random. She can’t make sense of the attack given her low profile following a disastrous H1N1 vaccine trial. She is unaware the her former colleague Dr. Jacob Krantz has used her vaccine to develop a deadly bio-weapon he calls the Armageddon Virus, or that his collaborators want her dead before she discovers their evil plans.

Fleeing for safety with her research in hand, Erin seeks the help of the former Marine. But they get closer to unraveling the mystery behind her threats, the more erratic his behavior becomes. His suspicious communication with his daughter and his bipolar swings seem more befitting an enemy than a friend. As the crisis comes to a head, Erin can’t be sure who harbors more secrets, the evil organization trying to kill her or the one man who can save her life.

When the body of a small-time crook named Mickey Parfitt washes up on the tide, no one grieves; far from it. But William Monk, commander of the River Police, is puzzled by the expensive silk cravat used to strangle Parfitt. How did this elegant scarf—whose original owner was obviously a man of substance—end up imbedded in the neck of a wharf rat who richly deserved his sordid end?

Dockside informers lead Monk to what may be a partial answer—a floating palace of corruption on the Thames managed by Parfitt, where a captive band of half-starved boys are forced to perform vile acts for men willing to pay a high price for midnight pleasures. Although Monk and his fearless wife, Hester, would prefer to pin a medal on Parfitt’s killer, duty leads them in another direction—to an unresolved crime from the past, to blackmail and more murder, and to a deadly confrontation with some of the empire’s most respected men.
