Officially, blame falls upon a lowly Chinese fishmonger and the local custom of selling live fish and other animals including bats in open-air wet markets. One man knows the truth, but his attempt to bring it to light plunges him into the dark world of international politics and covert government activities. Fearing for his life, he engages the services of team π to irrefutably expose the real cause, and at the same time keep them all alive.

Jerry Anders has investigated many murders, but none so far reaching as two he drew weeks before Christmas in the east coast city of Virginia Beach. A convicted police officer killer was shot with a bullet normally issued to FBI snipers. Someone is eliminating criminals who kill cops, and Anders' cases lead him to uncovering an organized effort spawned from within FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
