The Pandora Strain

Someone has to speak for the dead. She simply didn't expect to be counted among them. After a mysterious viral attack targets an elite Washington DC event, an intrepid reporter finds herself trapped in a building. She and a teacup poodle are the only survivors-every other person filling the lavish space is dead.  She doesn't know how much time has passed. Or why she's been locked inside.  To reach her beloved foster brother and the stubborn SEAL who wants to marry her, she has to escape.
But to get the information needed to force the doors open, she has to uncover the truth behind the attack. Who was the target-and who was behind it?  With a tiny poodle at her side, she has to cut to the heart of the story.  Then the dead begin to rise.  Some circle, endlessly reenacting their final moments. Others rise with fury. They are hungry, they are hunting her. And they are not alone. Soon she discovers the lingering dead aren't the biggest threat locked inside the building with her.
Agents of the shadowy forces behind the attack are still inside-and their work isn't finished. While her SEAL battles his way to her side, she risks everything for the story. As she reveals the real targets, she's forced to confront a terrifying possibility: she might not have survived the virus.  The truth can't be allowed to escape. And the danger is only beginning. From USA Today bestselling author Dee J.
