The Blacker Death

IAN finalist for best thriller of the year: a hard-boiled murder mystery-thriller set during an Ebola outbreak in the City of Brotherly Love. The aging FBI detective dealing with both describes it best.

'Only three things in life are guaranteed: you’re born, you die, and somewhere in between, if you keep playing the odds, you’ll get lucky. What makes me such an expert? Nothing really. My name is Bam Matthews, I’m an FBI agent, and in forty-eight hours, give or take, I’ll either be damn lucky or stone-cold dead. Guaranteed.'
