About the Book

A life-threatening microbe. A desperate scientist. Can she isolate the disease before terrorists obliterate the world?

Epidemiologist Leigh Austen can't shake her lasting guilt. As the sole survivor of her team's encounter with the Black Nile virus, Austen is tormented with memories of her colleagues' horrific deaths. But when an unknown pathogen annihilates an entire Asian village, she must bury the nightmares and step up to help prevent a worldwide epidemic.

Joined by doctors, specialists, and a retired special-forces officer, Austen travels to the hot-zone epicenter a mile beneath the city's surface. But with a crazed microbiologist and a former Soviet soldier after the dangerous organism, this scientist's fight to save millions of lives could quickly cost her own...

Can Austen contain the killer strain before demented monsters unleash a deadly blight?

The Devil's Noose is the suspenseful first book in the Plague Walker Medical Thrillers series. If you like intriguing mysteries, memorable characters, and science-based fiction, then you'll love Michael Angel's action-packed tale.

Author's Note: The Devil's Noose is a self-contained work and does not end on a cliffhanger. It contains a limited amount of strong language, gore, and some graphic violence. Ratings-wise, it would either be a hard PG-13 or soft R. Please decide to purchase accordingly.
Included with this novel is a special offer for the prologue novella, The Plague Walker: A Leigh Austen Short Medical Thriller as well as the next story in this series, The Reaper's Scythe.

Reviews of the Plague Walker Pandemic Medical Thrillers:
"Angel manages the nearly impossible...creating memorable characters in the midst of an intriguing mystery, action, humor and heart."
-- JC Andrijeski, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Quentin Black mystery series
"Fast-paced action and sly wit make Angel's writing irresistible fun."
-- Rebecca Moesta, NYT Bestselling co-author of Young Jedi Knights

Interview with the Author:
Q - What makes a Plague Walker Medical Thriller special? A - I've enjoyed thought-provoking medical or science-based fiction ever since I was old enough to read Michael Crichton's Andromeda Strain and Robin Cook's Coma. I'm also a big fan of the modern-day thriller writers like Craig Martelle, Michael Anderle, and Tess Gerritsen.
So I've been writing these new medical thrillers as a unique mix of the two kinds of books. Epidemiologist Leigh Austen encounters similarly apocalyptic threats...and she does in a world rife with international skulduggery and conspiracy!
Q - Why should readers give these books a try? A - Because you'll get to meet a bunch of memorable characters - scientists, soldiers, doctors, even a shadowy Nostradamus-like figure - in the midst of intriguing medical thrillers filled with action, humor and heart. (Yes, I paraphrased one of my reviewers, but I can't put it any better.)
Q - Tell us more about epidemiologist Leigh Austen - what makes her tick?A - Leigh's the kind of person who'll move mountains to help someone. She also carries hidden scars from the time her medical team was wiped out by a killer virus in The Plague Walker. For that reason alone she'll go to any length to stop a local outbreak from turning into a global pandemic.
