A deadly, incurable disease creeps silent through Chattanooga. And its victims aren't random.
When an inexplicable human rabies outbreak appears in Tennessee, disease ecologist Letty Duquesne jumps at the chance to trace the virus back to its source. But the closer Letty gets to the truth behind a now looming public health crisis, the further someone will go to stop her.
With an unwanted promotion threatening to take Letty far from the field work she loves, this outbreak feels like her last chance to make a difference. It's not something she can ignore, especially now. The spillover of zoonotic diseases to the human population is on the rise and violent animal attacks - like the one that killed her sister - are becoming all too common.
Something in nature has gone very wrong.
Local authorities would rather she go home, but Letty can track a source animal like no one else. With the help of disgraced detective, Andrew Marsh, Letty's investigation follows the virus's epidemiological trail. But her every move is watched. And the source animal is closer than she thinks.
Inhuman Acts is a dark, atmospheric thriller perfect for fans of sharp heroines and science-grounded suspense. With wry humor, Brooke L. French's propulsive, debut medical mystery expertly blends southern noir and forensic pathogen investigation.
