From bestselling mystery author Liz Lipperman – a page-turning Romantic Thriller/Suspense In a prequel to DIE ONCE MORE Dr. Mackenzie Conley, a CIA operative and expert on bioterrorism, is in Morocco undercover as a visiting professor at the University. Her mission is to investigate rumors of a powerful new nerve gas delivery system being perfected somewhere in the area. The rest of her team has already gone home after spending two weeks without finding even a hint of such a weapon. Mac stayed behind to finish her six-week stint to ensure her cover stays intact should she need to use it again. With only one week left, Mac can’t wait to get back to the states and the love of her life, the head of the Sweepers team. But someone in Morocco has other plans for her—plans that include kidnapping, drugging, and holding her hostage in a mountain laboratory, totally hidden from satellite coverage. Neither her team nor her handler knows where she is. Escaping from the mountain prison becomes critical but isn’t the only thing on Mac’s mind, though, as she comes face to face with the man whose latest invention has the potential to bring the world to its knees.
