MASTERMIND

A nefarious plan to black out the world’s cities may kill us all—unless the dream team of a fearless FBI agent and a brilliant doctor can save the day.

Agent Jessica Blackwood is pulled abruptly out of the latest course in which she instructs other FBI colleagues in offense and defense skills. A talented agent, she’s sure that few of her students, more likely to become desk jockeys than save-the-day agents, will ever need the things she's teaching them. But she definitely falls into the latter group herself, and her expertise is needed, stat. It’s not just that the power is out across New York—the city has all but vanished from the face of the Earth. What now? Working with the newly formed Information Data Retrieval agency, Blackwood has little to go on as she learns that cities around the world are falling into the same fog that seems to have swallowed New York. While some might see this as a weather event, it’s obvious to Agent Blackwood that something more nefarious is at play. Could the manipulative psychopath mastermind the Warlock be behind the foggy scheme? With only her reputation and gut instinct to rely on, Blackwood teams up with eccentric genius Dr. Theo Cray to help her solve the mystery of the disappearing cities. Her first step: Find and rescue Cray from the depths of the jungle. Her second: Avoid getting eaten by homicidal monkeys. The rest should be a cinch.

Easy come, easy go.
