Seed of Fear

Seed of Fear is a bioterrorism techno-thriller built around two characters on a collision course: Alec McCreary, a DEA agent still processing the deaths of five colleagues in an engineered ambush on the Texas border, and Grace Liang, an agricultural genomics researcher whose work at a controlled-environment facility in Sonora has been quietly weaponized by the people funding it. When Grace disappears and the cover story doesn't hold, Alec starts pulling threads that reach from cartel infrastructure into the highest levels of American intelligence. Fans of Clancy's The Sum of All Fears and le Carré's The Constant Gardener will find familiar ground here: institutional betrayal, a threat designed to look like something else, and science that is frighteningly real. But the engine running underneath is two people trying to survive a system that has decided they're expendable.
