There is nothing like a thriller with a female FBI agent searching for a demented old Nazi doctor to prevent biological havoc. On the other hand, the lead character's suffering through infertility treatments made it hard for me to completely like her. I realize infertility must be a devastating diagnosis for people but, frankly, with all those kids in the world who need adopting, I just can't be completely sympathetic. Anyhoo, turns out her beloved family doctor is in fact the aforementioned demented old Nazi doctor she has been seeking at work. Gosh, I never saw that coming - well yes I did from the very start and I'm not sure anyone who has read even one thriller before would fail to figure this out. Then the demented old Nazi doctor is revealed halfway through the book making things even less thrilling.
The best part was the mind fuck the protagonist uses on demented old Nazi doctor to get him to kill himself - except she saves him at the last minute. As if. He killed her husband. Knock him off, no one would ever know. But she can't do that or she would become as evil as him or some such platitude. Turns out he mind fucks her too as there is no vacine!
Ending, predictable.
