A man wearing a hazmat suit walks into a police station in Siberia claiming he is responsible for the deaths of his wife and three children. Before he can be questioned, he is kidnapped by Gai Dong Jing, his former employer and an ex-Alliance officer who is now head of a secret terrorist cell conducting bioweapon research of deadly proportions. Agents Sydney Bristow and Michael Vaughn are sent to a small town on the Siberian-Korean border to look for Jing's lab. They discover an underground bunker, the place where the mysterious man in the hazmat suit-a brilliant Alliance geneticist who disappeared years ago-was quarantined. With the threat of a worldwide epidemic looming, Sydney and the APO team must locate Jing and decode the scientist's medical diary, which holds the answers to the virus and the fate of his family. In the meantime, the highly contagious geneticist plans to rid himself of his illness in the most unimaginable way...
Christina F. York looks at writing like an all-you-can-eat buffet: she has to try a little bit of everything. She has written business and technical non-fiction, erotica, action-adventure, SF, fantasy, romance, YA, and various combinations of all of the above.
She has always loved words, in every form. Her first foray into publishing, as the ten-year-old reporter, editor and publisher of a one-page neighborhood newspaper, lasted only a few weeks. During the enforced retirement that followed, she finished grade school, high school, and college, married, had a couple kids, divorced, re-married, and eventually found her way back to writing.
An Oregon native, Christina has always lived on the West Coast. After growing up in the suburbs of L.A., she spent many years in and around Seattle, moved to Eugene, Oregon, and eventually settled on the rugged Oregon coast, where she can see the ocean from her office window. She shares her home with her husband, writer J. Steven York, and a couple of very spoiled cats.
She is currently at work on a mystery for Berkley Prime Crime (MURDER BUYS A T-SHIRT) and another for Tsunami Ridge Publishing (STRUNG UP). She can be found on Facebook (Christina York), Twitter (@christinafyork and @christymystery), Webpage www.YorkWriters.com, and on her mystery blog (http://www.christymystery.com/).
