A Knife Edge

A KNIFE EDGE A scientist meets a grisly end when he falls from a military research ship and is attacked by a two-ton white shark off the Japanese coast. By the time Special Investigator Vin Cooper reaches the scene, there s literally very little left to prove that the death wasn t an accident. But Cooper s instincts tell him that he s looking at murder and that in assigning him to this case someone might just as well have shoved him, too, into shark-infested waters. What kind of top secret project could the military be engaged in that would require the services of a foremost marine biologist and a genetic researcher? The possibilities are ominous, but not as ominous as the truth. And then the unthinkable tragedy that everyone feared since 9/11 explodes with a terrifying sense of deja vu in San Francisco. Suddenly, with a second scientist presumed dead, an unidentified charred body in the morgue, and the accidental parachute death of a friend in a Florida training field, Cooper is following a trail as narrow and as dangerous as a knife edge a trail that leads to what we all fear most: a secret government within our government whose sworn duty is to kill anyone who opposes them."
