A monstrous and mysterious disease, a missing girl and a conspiracy so far-reaching it threatens the lives of billions. Enter Ian MacRae, a tough guy with a soft heart for whom danger is a business. From a massacre in an African village to gunfights in the streets of San Francisco, and crazed, scalpel-wielding scientists closer to home, this fearless security consultant must discover the truth - the hard way. MacRae must move quickly and think fast to save the planet from a ruthless, megalomaniac billionaire convinced he must be cruel to humanity to be kind to the planet. Can MacRae succeed - and save those he loves the most? Time and the odds are against him. So too his seemingly indestructible Russian nemesis, a clinical killing machine who appears more than a match for the maverick Tasmanian. Devil's Plague is the un-put-downable, thoroughly original and gob-smackingly dramatic second novel from Jon P Wells.
