We All Fall Down

Chicago. A biological weapon is set off in the subway and quickly spreads through the city's west side. Kelly goes into the subway with a team trained in microbial forensics (essentially the next generation of CSI) and gets a hard lesson in "black biology" and the dimensions of the 'coming biological war'. Meanwhile, the pathogen spreads. The government is forced to quarantine sections of the city. Fences go up, and soldiers in bio-hazard suits take to the streets. Gangs take over day-to-day law and order in the sectioned off hot zones and society generally begins to unravel. Kelly, of course, is in the middle of it, tracking down the bad guys while his city teeters on the precipice. Featuring plenty of next generation technology, We All Fall Down is stylish suspense from a major new voice. 'A magnificent debut that should be read by all' John Grisham 'Michael Harvey has studied the masters and put his own unique touch on the crime novel. A major new voice' Michael Connelly 'Gritty and witty ... a real winner' Kathy Reich
