The Great Plague appeared out of nowhere, sweeping around the globe in a matter of months. By the time patient zero was tracked to the Korean Peninsula, it was already too late. In the wake of the infection governments dissolved, infrastructure collapsed and society descended into virtual chaos. Those few who survived the disease were not the lucky ones, however, for the virus contained a horrific secret. It transformed the infected, mutating them into mindless beasts. Only those who had not yet entered puberty were immune. In the months following the Big Death the remnants of civilization huddle in tiny enclaves, teetering on the brink of extinction, their days spent in a desperate search for food. But it is the nights that prove most terrifying. Hunted by packs of wild beasts the survivors seek shelter in the dark crawl spaces of crumbling buildings, praying for sunrise when the beasts slink back into their lairs. Out of the ashes of a once-great civilization, survivors must band together under the leadership of cruel and dictatorial tyrants. But a few resist and become outlaws. Hunted by their own kind and pursued by vicious beasts, their only hope lies in finding a cure for the virus. Skin Walkers is a terrifying glimpse into a dystopian future where the only survivors of a global plague are the very young. In the ruins of decaying cities, the remnants of a great plague struggle to survive. With food stocks running low they must compete for survival, braving packs of deadly, flesh-eating beasts they call Sink Walkers. But the plague holds many secrets. As the young mature they face the terrifying prospect they too may transform.

FBI SPECIAL AGENT HARPER RIGGS IS ONE OF THE FEW AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN THE FBI. Of the FBI's thirty-five thousand active agents, Harper Riggs is one of only a handful of African American women to gain entry to the nearly all white, mostly male fraternity of special agents. After graduating from the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, Virginia she is assigned to the FBI's field office in Washington, DC, a reward for graduating third in a class of two hundred fifty new agent trainees. Harper's first important case brings her into the confidence of a legendary veteran agent her colleagues call the lioness of special projects, Elizabeth Allard. But when Lizzie asks her to become a ghost, an agent working clandestinely within the Agency to expose a mole, Harper has grave concerns. Choosing incorrectly could easily end her career. Harper has always considered herself inviolable, but fortune is often fickle, as she is soon to discover. One day, quite by accident, Harper stumbles across a mysterious file on the cellphone of a Department of Defense scientist who has recently vanished while on a camping trip in Arizona's Superstition Mountains. The file's contents prove to be candid photographs of twenty-seven women; all victims of the serial killer the media has dubbed Doctor Sleep. For more than twenty years Doctor Sleep has been abducting young, attractive women, immobilizing them and surgically removing their faces before fitting them with grotesque paper mache masks, hideous caricatures of their former beauty. But tracking the cellphone's owner proves more difficult than Harper could ever imagine. Her most promising lead is the missing scientist's childhood friend, who is currently serving a life sentence for murder in the Federal Government's Supermax prison facility in Florence, Colorado. A meeting with the prisoner only serves to deepen the mystery. Is the missing scientist the infamous Doctor Sleep, or just a pawn Sleep has sacrificed to obscure his identity? Thwarted at every turn, Harper begins to suspect someone is observing her every move, enticing her with clues that lead nowhere. Discovering the truth will lead her down a path that could not only end her career, but also her life.
