  THE CHIMERA introduces a pair of amateur detectives, Grace and George O'Bannion. Grace is a retired Army Intelligence officer and George a retired history professor. The story is set in eastern part of Virginia's Northern Neck, a largely rural economy of farming, fishing, oystering, crabbing, tourism and a multitude of small businesses but also hosting a population of comfortable to wealthy retirees, thanks to its hundreds of miles of waterfront. In turn, they help enable a rich cultural life of arts, music, and entertainment in the area. George had written a highly successful series of historical novels that boosted their retirement portfolio and when Grace decided to retire early from the Army, disillusioned by the lack of focus, strategy and progress in the "War on Terror," they left their urban world for the Northern Neck. When the lady who cleaned house for them every other week is arrested for the murder of a prominent citizen, George and Grace cannot believe her capable of the crime and get involved.

  The task looks simple to Joe Mayfield and his wife, hacker extraordinaire, Weezy Napolitani: find a stolen laboratory notebook. But when professional assassins attack Joe and Weezy and a biotech’s lead scientist is kidnapped, it’s apparent something much larger than a missing notebook is at stake.  
  It’s a few years in the future. Gene therapy has come of age, bringing with it the hope of curing genetically driven diseases. For Gerard Crecher, genetic alteration is a way of sacrificing a few climate change deniers so he can carry out his plan to save the planet. His partners don’t have such pure motives. Those same alterations can be used with deadly intent, targeting decision makers, politicians, or enemy nations. A poison pill to be sold to the highest bidder. Weezy, Joe, and their hacker friends find themselves in a deadly race to reach into the dark net to dredge up the stinking mess and air it out before gene therapy is turned into a potent bioweapon.
