When the wind blows

Frannie O'Neill, a gifted young veterinarian in Colorado, is still reeling from the unsolved killing of her husband, David, a local physician. She buries herself in her clinic's work, but when another puzzling death follows, Kit Harrison, an FBI agent with a hard past and an unorthodox style, turns up on her doorstep.

One night, while walking near the woods behind her animal hospital, Frannie encounters something strange and remarkable that pulls her into a far larger story. That discovery, an eleven-year-old boy named Max, becomes the guide who pushes Frannie and Kit toward the truth behind a scheme rooted in modern science.

James Patterson, a prolific thriller writer, combines a tense investigation with a more personal story about loss and connection. The result is a suspense novel that balances its chase for answers with emotional stakes.
