As Agents Heath and Eames uncover the truth, a decades old scandal comes to light. Even now, some are willing to kill to keep their secrets hidden.
Eleri wanted a different kind of case. She should have been careful what she wished for. When an odd human skeleton in Michiganās Manistee-Huron National Forest triggers a NightShade investigation, Eleri and Donovan arrive to find it missing.
But two other skeletons are a little too easily uncoveredāeach displays different anomalies that raise alarming questions. The bones arenāt from the area or probably even the continent. A decades-old abandoned building doesnāt register on satellite images. Files detailing genetic experiments on children are even more disturbing, and most of the children are unaccounted for. Who were the test subjects and where are the bodies?
Eleri and Donovan believe there are others out there who havenāt died yet. But they will, if something isnāt done. Fast. If the case itself wasnāt enough of a problem, someone is watching. Someone with a particular interest in Donovanās own skeletal anomalies . . .
The Atlas Defect is the third book in the NightShade Forensic FBI Files series by USA Today bestselling author A.J. Scudiere. This book can be read as a standalone, but readers who love paranormal investigations and FBI thrillers will want to read the entire series!
