    WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO TRACK DOWN THE VERY FIRST CASE OF COVID-19 BEFORE THE UNTHINKABLE OCCURS? "Another Wil Mara sensation! This medical thriller is a fascinating tale right in tune with the pandemic that dominates our lives. A page-turner that will take you through a series of twists and turns and have you guessing right up to the last moment."-Dr. Marty Hewlett, Virologist, Professor Emeritus, University of ArizonaAfter a long run of successful crusades to resolve the most tantalizing mysteries of our age-everything from the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and the assassination of JFK to the death of Princess Diana-billionaire sleuth Jason Hammond has been lying low at his New Hampshire estate. But now, in the midst of the deadliest pandemic in over a century, the US government has arrived on Jason's doorstep seeking the kind of help that only he can provide. They're hoping to mobilize his unmatched investigative skills, the considerable resources of his vast empire, and, most of all, his untarnished goodwill in the eyes of the public, to answer what is now the most pressing question on the planet-what is the true origin of Covid-19, aka the 'coronavirus'? Was it really a mutated product of nature, as some insist, or the creation of unhinged minds looking to plunge humanity into a nightmarish era of bioengineered conflict? Tensions between the giants of the global stage are rising fast, with nearly every human life at risk. Can Jason really find the key to ratcheting down this unprecedented degree of geopolitical hostility before the missiles start flying?

    WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE 'AMERICAN DREAM' WE WERE ALL PROMISED?"The key to understanding the rise in inequality isn't technology or globalization. It's the power of the moneyed interests to shape the underlying rules of the market."-Robert Reich, former US Secretary of Labor and author of The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix ItLAS VEGAS, NOVEMBER 1970-In a darkened suite on the top floor of the Desert Inn, ailing billionaire Howard Hughes, the richest man in the world at the time, hands his final testament to twenty-year-old Chase Wheeler. Just over a week later, Hughes's minders abruptly move him out of Las Vegas in the middle of the night, and Wheeler vanishes without a trace.PRESENT DAY-Demolition expert Randy Miller discovers forty eight pages of Hughes's rough notes just hours before the Desert Inn is imploded. In dire financial straits, Randy and his wife Jeanine decide to put a few of the pages on eBay. Days later, the Miller family is attacked by a gunman determined to have those pages plus all the others. The Millers flee with their children into hiding and contact the only person they feel they can trust-Jason Hammond. Jason has become an international celebrity through his gift for solving the greatest mysteries of the modern age, including the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.Jason reads through the cryptic notes and realizes they are the key to tracking down Hughes's now-legendary lost will. If discovered, it would endow certain people with great fortune while stripping it from others-more than adequate motivation for someone to bring a professional killer into the equation. But the situation is far from that simple, and Jason's investigation soon leads him to the chilling truth behind the economic decline of America's working class through the steady application of income inequality-and the terrifying realization that those responsible aren't done yet....
