"When jailed billionaire Charles Merrick hints publicly that he has stashed a fortune in an offshore cache, a school of sharks converges upon his release from federal prison. Among his swindled victims is Judge Hammond Birk, the man who saved Gibson Vaughn's life when he was a troubled teenager. Now Gibson intends to repay that debt by recovering Merrick's victims' money. But Gibson isn't the only one on the trail of the hidden fortune. The promise of billions has drawn a horde of ruthless treasure hunters, including an edgy ex-con, a female bartender with a mysterious history, a Chinese spy with a passion for fly-fishing, and a veritable army of hardened mercenaries. To stay ahead of the sharks and win justice for his mentor, Gibson will need all his formidable skills. But at the end of the road, he'll still have to face 'Poisonfeather'--a geopolitical secret that just might get Gibson killed...or worse." --from publisher

From the author of a New York Times bestseller and a cult classic comes a cunningly plotted novel that reinvents the apocalyptic thriller. Carl Streator, a solitary widower and newspaper reporter, investigates Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and uncovers a chilling connection: the anthology Poems and Rhymes Around the World, found at death scenes, opened to a lethal African chant known as the “culling song.” Once this song lodges in Streator's mind, he becomes an involuntary serial killer. To stop the spread of this deadly verbal virus, he teams up with Helen Hoover Boyle, a real estate broker who sells haunted houses and lost a child to the culling song. Their cross-country journey to eliminate copies of the book is joined by Helen's earnest Wiccan assistant, Mona Sabbat, and her sardonic ecoterrorist boyfriend, Oyster, who is embroiled in a scam involving fake claims and blackmail. This chilling narrative serves as a parable about the dangers of psychic infection in an age of overwhelming information. It unfolds as a tightly wound thriller with a suspenseful plot full of twists, while also delivering black comedy that solidifies the author's reputation as a contemporary seer and our funniest nihilist.
