Not science fiction so much as possibility (like most of her work), this continues the tale of FBI Agent Robert Cavanaugh's slightly bumbling quest to find the truth about a strangely mutated strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Packed with anecdotes and quotes to round out the thriller, it's a great story. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

FBI Agent Robert Cavanaugh has been transferred from the organized crime unit to the slow-paced office in Maryland. When a nurse at a hospital notices an increase in fatal strokes among healthy black adults, the trail leads to a new strain of malaria that is fatal to those with the sickle-cell trait. There's no hard evidence of human intervention, but Cavanaugh must convince the FBI to look for the answers before it becomes an epidemic or even race war.

A healthy presidential hopeful drops dead from a stroke complicated by malaria he has no business having in the United States. And suddenly there is a cluster of similar cases in southern Maryland. An FBI agent and an epidemiologist work the problem. Stinger is a competent biotech thriller that actually gives a shout-out to Chloroquine, the antimalarial drug that has been in the news lately. Because it is a book by Nancy Kress there is also some routine domestic drama to go along with the scientific mystery plot. ( )
