Protocol Zero by James Abel, a Joe Rush Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Berkley

    

When authorities in Alaska receive a disturbing call from a teenage girl, their investigation leads them to discover an entire family of researchers dead. Joe Rush is called to help examine the bodies. On the surface, it looks like a brutal murder/suicide. But the situation is nowhere near that simple — nor is it over.

Upon closer investigation, Rush discovers the terrifying truth. The research team has fallen victim to something that seems impossible at first, yet the evidence looks undeniable in the lab. Now the danger may threaten thousands more.

Unfortunately, he's not the only one with knowledge of the looming disaster. The army has cordoned off part of Alaska, and Rush soon finds himself the target of trained killers. Someone suspects Rush of betraying his country. To save countless lives — starting with his own — Rush must uncover the answers hidden in the Arctic. The question is — will he find them in time?

Molly DeWitt is a recent divorcee and single mother who recently moved from Miami to the wealthier enclave of Key Biscayne in hopes of finding a safe home for herself and her son, and far from the violence of the Miami cartels.

Rather than the peace and quiet Molly had hoped for, trouble seems to have followed her. Right after Molly moves in, she finds the body of Allan Winecroft, the highly disliked condo president, in the card-room of her new apartment complex. But Molly's luck turns from bad to worse when the knife in Allan's back proves to be hers and soon finds herself as the prime suspect. Molly must rely on handsome, homicide detective Michael O'Hara to clear her name. And if he can't help her, then she'll just have to find the killer herself. But there is an undeniable chemistry between the two, and Molly soon finds herself giving her heart to Michael O'Hara …
