On a cold December night,two members of an international terrorist organization meet at a French Quarter restaurant in New Orleans to finalize plans for one of the deadliest attacks ever on the United States of America: a release of the smallpox virus during the upcoming Super Bowl at the New Orleans Superdome. A beautiful young woman joins them the next day at a remote fishing camp on Lake Pontchartrain, selected by the cell leader as the perfect headquarters and hiding place for their activities. Masterminded by a powerful, reclusive terrorist leader whom the United States government believes to be dead, it's the attack America thought would never happen and is woefully ill-prepared to handle.
Margaret Lawhon creates a fast-paced thriller that takes you from the banks of Lake Pontchartrain to the isolated bioterrorist laboratories of the former U.S.S.R. to the glamour of Rio de Janeiro's Carnaval. The Poydras Project combines a cautionary tale for our time with a story of how love and loss can converge with monumental consequences.
