Don't Get Close
by Matt Miksa
Genre: Thriller, Suspense
An
infamous reincarnation cult resurfaces in the wake of a deadly
bombing, and it’s up to an FBI novice to learn its true aim—and
uncover its dark past before it consumes her.
Special
Agent Vera Taggart walked away from a promising career as an artist
to join the FBI, and she impresses her new colleagues with her eerie
ability to divine conclusions from the grisliest crime scenes.
Taggart’s first assignment is a decades-old cold case centered on a
cult of suicide bombers known as the Sons of Elijah who believe
they’ve been reborn hundreds of times, going back centuries. It
seems like a low-risk assignment until a bomb tears apart a crowded
Chicago restaurant. The Sons of Elijah have returned—and now it’s
up to Taggart to stop their modern-day reign of terror.
Taggart’s
investigation begins with Dr. Seth Jacobson, a renowned psychiatrist
who claims to help people remember past lives through hypnotherapy.
Jacobson had treated two of the Sons of Elijah’s founders before
they’d gone on to commit a series of horrific murders. Desperate to
understand how these ordinary patients could have taken such a
violent path, Taggart agrees to undergo similar treatment with
Jacobson.
Through
her hypnosis sessions, Taggart comes to suspect the Sons of Elijah
are targeting a high-tech government laboratory that could expose the
group’s greatest secret with a controversial experiment. To save
millions of innocent lives, Tag must come to grips with the shocking
truth about the cult and her own puzzling role in its timeless
mission. The fate of humanity rests on her ability to determine which
threats are real and which exist only in her mind—and to decide
whose side she’s really fighting for.
