Angel de l'Enfantine's search for the cause of a tragic train derailment in Inner Mongolia brings her face to face with a set of brutal killers. Determined to hide evidence of their nefarious crimes, these men won't rest until she is dead. But Angel holds a crucial piece of the puzzle, and her employer, a member of an apocalypse prepper group, is also prepared to do anything to obtain it. Anything at all. In this second installment, the stage is set for a deadly showdown which will sorely test Angel's alliances. THE FLENSE SERIES DESCRIPTION Hundreds die in a fiery train crash in northern China. A cargo ship smuggling refugees is lost to calm seas off the Libyan coast. Entire villages in Ghana are abandoned overnight. Contracted by an apocalypse prepper group to investigate a series of seemingly disconnected global tragedies, a young freelance medical reporter, Angelique de l'Enfantine, uncovers a disturbing pattern: each event is preceded by the sudden spread of a mysterious ailment and is followed by the appearance of a man dressed in black and silver who witnesses claim is the devil himself. Are the tragedies harbingers of an impending biblical catastrophe or practice runs of a fanatical organization bent on global annihilation? With each event more grisly than the last and the risk to her life growing, Angel must ask herself if her sponsors are using her to advance their own paranoid agenda.
