Award Winning Horror Author Takes a Step into Spec Fic with 3 Book Deal to SMP
PATIENT ZERO by Bram Stoker Award-winning author JONATHAN MABERRY will kick off a new series of thrillers featuring JOE LEDGER, to be published by ST. MARTIN’S PRESS. Ledger is a former Baltimore cop recruited by the newly formed and highly secret Department of Military Sciences. The DMS was created to face a new wave of bio-terrorist threats against America.
In Patient Zero, Joe Ledger and the DMS face a terror cell that has weaponized a prion disease that will, if unleashed, turn people into zombies. If the terrorists aren’t stopped before they launch this terrible weapon then the resulting plague will be unstoppable.
The Joe Ledger series will be fast-paced, character driven, and action packed. The stories are all grounded in real science –but that science is taken to a terrifying new level.
