Dr. Madison Davis, a medical mycologist, is brought in as part of a team to investigate the new-found life and determine what secrets it holds and what dangers it might present.
Descending a quarter of a mile underground to a top secret research laboratory, Madison discovers that sometimes the smallest things can be the most deadly.

Arriving on the island, Rampart finds that the island's inhabitants are suspicious of his presence. Even stranger are the murders themselves. Each victim has been found drowned in their beds - far from the shores of the island. The only evidence in the case leads Rampart into the dark heart of Fell Island's mysterious history. But the deeper Rampart digs, the closer he gets to becoming the next victim...

Epilogue: Parts Unknown
The blonde woman leaned over the lab tech’s shoulder, letting her breasts press against him. She felt the bespectacled young man tense from the touch and grinned widely. “Eyes front,” she purred into his ear. “This isn’t the time for hanky panky. How’s our guest?”
“Still unconscious,” the lab tech stammered out, his voice trembling with unease.
The blonde nodded. “Good. Make sure she stays that way. We don’t want her waking up before Father Frost’s finished laying out all his presents under the tree.”
The lab tech turned to give the blonde an uncertain look. “If we keep her drugged until New Year’s, there’s a possibility of long term mental complications.”
The blonde rolled her eyes and slapped the lab tech across the back of the head. “It was a figure of speech, jackass,” she muttered. “Besides, it’s not as if she doesn’t already have some pretty major mental complications.” The blonde’s eyes roamed over the computer monitor in front of the lab tech. On the monitor was a feed from the security camera in the room where their guest was being kept for the time being. Nadya lay still with her eyes closed and a couple of IV’s hooked into her. “Still, at least she’s easy on the eyes.”
The lab tech gave the blonde another dubious look. “I’m sorry, but I’m not sure I fully grasp the point of this.”
The blonde turned her gaze from the monitor to the tech, narrowing her eyes to dangerous slits. “That’s because you’re not supposed to. All you need to know is that the bosses signed off on this as a personal favor to me. And now I’m telling you to keep her under until everything is in place. Is that simple enough for you to understand?” She reached down and drew the pistol from its holster at her hip, pressing the barrel against the back of the lab tech’s head. “Or do I put two through your brain now and find someone who asks fewer questions to press the buttons and fuck me silly?”
The lab tech lifted his hands away from the keyboard, holding them out to his sides as he struggled to reply to the blonde’s question. Before he could get the words past his lips, she squeezed the trigger. The front of the lab tech’s face disappeared in a sneeze of blood and brains. The gore splattered across the monitor as the tech’s body slumped forward over the desk, jerking slightly.
The blonde let out a disappointed sigh as she holstered her weapon. “It’s so fucking hard to find good help these days,” she muttered before leaning over the corpse to wipe the blood away from the monitor. She smiled at Nadya’s sleeping form, tapping a bloody finger against the monitor. “Get nice and rested, kiddo,” she purred. “I plan on having a whole lot of fun with you.”
