The Death Row Complex (The Katrina Stone Novels Book 2)
by Kristen Elise Ph.D.
Here’s the set-up:
An anonymous warning is sent to the White House, and a genetically engineered biological weapon is released in a California prison. The unpublished data of biologist Katrina Stone may hold the key to harnessing the lethal bacterium–and to its creation within the desperate world from which biotechnology is born…
A fast-paced science and medical thriller, The Death Row Complex introduces a fictitious but all-too-plausible strain of anthrax and the desperate society of bioengineers that created it. Prequel to best-selling historical thriller The Vesuvius Isotope, The Death Row Complex can be read as a stand-alone novel while also offering fans of The Vesuvius Isotope insight into the earlier life of biologist Katrina Stone.
In these earlier years, Stone is a struggling professor at San Diego State University. When a genetically engineered strain of anthrax with exceptional potency is released at San Quentin State Prison, Stone quickly becomes both the prime suspect in the terror attack and the FBI’s best hope for stopping an imminent national catastrophe.
Stone’s quest to avert disaster and save her own reputation is centered in San Diego, California–a city uniquely dense with both science and military that becomes a character in the novel in its own right. The bicoastal investigation into the terror attack leads readers between Washington DC and San Diego, and from the world’s most sophisticated laboratories into the seething brutality of San Quentin’s death row.

“It’s a possible plot line; it could happen…”
