FBI Profiler Maggie O'Dell is sent to Nebraska to look into cattle mutilations. But when she arrives she is pulled into the investigation of a teenage drug party. Several of the teens are in shock, two are dead. On the other side of the country, Colonel Benjamin Platt is looking into the sudden illness of several school children. Is it food poisoning? The stomach flu? When another group of school children suddenly become ill, Ben must find what is causing an illness that may be fatal.

Alex Kava has given us two different mysteries. Both stories were fast-paced and held my interest. But, once again, Maggie O'Dell does something during the investigation that would get any other FBI agent fired. I don't understand why the author writes these situations into the series. It makes me want to throw the book against the wall.

I kept waiting for the two mysteries to somehow be part of one big conspiracy. That didn't happen, but I still enjoyed the individual stories. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
