The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer

I took a few days off to do an SLJ review...look for it in March 2017--it's horror!

Anyway, this book was #3 of the B&N clearance sale.  It was half off the list price.  This one was worth it!

You may have heard of the author.  She wrote a little novel called Twilight and its sequels.

A former government scientist (real name Julianna, currently going by Alex) is on the run years after her lab partner and mentor was murdered.  She knows too much and represents a liability.  It seems now though her former employer needs her.  They have discovered a terrorist plot to release a viral agent of mass destruction.  Only someone of her caliber chemist can help them.

Their sole lead is an urban history teacher named Daniel.  All of a sudden tons of money is appearing in his bank accounts after trips to Mexico and Egypt.  It would appear the educator is claiming to be helping Habitat for Humanity, but is instead running drugs, viruses, money, or all 3.

Alex kidnaps Daniel to torture him for information.  NOTHING is as it seems.

One of the main characters is a German Shepherd who steals the show, along with a Great Dane and a Bassett Hound.

Trigger warning: several other dogs are killed in a gun fire fight.  They die as heroes and there is no harsh or violent description of their deaths, but I think younger readers should know.
