Some threats should never have existed at all.
A MURDERED SCIENTIST.
A MISSING BIOLOGICAL WEAPON.
A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD: ON THE MARKET.
When CDC researcher Elias Vale is found murdered beside the Chattahoochee River, Detective Owen Mercer believes he is investigating another homicide.
Hidden inside the dead man's final investigation is evidence that a weaponized biological agent has vanished from secure containment and has already entered the hands of people willing to sell it to the highest bidder.
Operating beyond every government agency is a man known only as The Chameleon.
He carries no badge.
He answers to no authority.
Officially, he does not exist.
As governments race to contain the threat, The Chameleon follows a different trail, one built from lies, hidden money, and ordinary people caught between powerful men and a weapon capable of changing the world forever.
Some threats cannot be negotiated.
Some cannot be contained.
And some should never have existed at all.
