Mutation Protocol: 2 (Viral Xenogenesis-9) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Book Description

A sheriff, a conspiracy, and a fight for the soul of a county.

Aubrey Collins survived Harlan County. She exposed a biological weapons program operating on American soil, lost her job, and nearly lost her life. But she built something in the ashes-a reputation for refusing to look away, and a love strong enough to survive the worst that could be thrown at it.

Now she's the newly elected Sheriff of Mercer County, West Virginia, and she's determined to build a normal life with Dylan, the veteran who stood beside her through the fire. The farmhouse needs work. The department needs leadership. The county voted her in with 78% of the vote, trusting her to protect them from the same nightmare that consumed Harlan.

She thinks the worst is behind her.

She's wrong.

When the first call comes at 3:48 AM-violent, confused victims on a farm outside Bramwell-Aubrey recognizes the signs immediately. The same symptoms. The same wrongness. But this time it's faster, more aggressive. The pathogen she thought she'd stopped is mutating. And it's already in her water supply.

With Dylan's help, Aubrey uncovers a horrifying truth: the Mercer County contamination isn't residual. It's active. A secret facility has been producing the weapon for years, distributing it across six states through water treatment plants and coal dust. And the people running it are still in power, still protected by a chain of command that reaches to the highest levels of government.

As the Bluefield cluster explodes and the body count rises, Aubrey must build a case that will hold in federal court while coordinating an emergency response across multiple states. She'll need an unlikely alliance of whistleblowers, federal agents, and former enemies to stop the distribution before it reaches critical mass. And she'll need to confront the possibility that the ones who started this will never face justice.

Because the people who funded the program are still in their positions. And they've already chosen their next target.

From the author of the Harlan County thrillers comes the electrifying continuation of Aubrey Collins's fight for the truth. Set against the backdrop of West Virginia's coal country, The Sheriff's Stand is a story of courage, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the darkest hours.
