The Demeter Code
Description
A lightning-paced international spy thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
Crack the code and you'll save millions of lives. But knowing it exists will get you killed.
When two American embassies in northern Africa are bombed, CIA operatives Ridley Fox and Nita Parris are assigned to track down the perpetrators. The mission takes a deadly turn when their top asset is murdered, exposing a devastating new threat: a powerful multinational corporation is burying its criminal activities, and someone with a personal vendetta knows their darkest secret.
The investigation launches Fox and Parris from the canals of Amsterdam to the industrial corridors of Düsseldorf and the sweltering streets of Bangkok. Forced into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse where the line between friend and foe blurs, they soon discover a bio-terrorism conspiracy that could result in the largest single-day attack against America. The race is on to stop it before it's too late.
The third book in the Ridley Fox/Nita Parris Spy Series, The Demeter Code is a techno thriller full of espionage, political suspense, and heart-pounding action.
"A lightning-paced thriller shining light into the shadowy world of corporate and international espionage." ?Robert Blake Whitehill, Author/Screenwriter of The Ben Blackshaw Series
"Whew! This intriguing bio-terrorism thriller becomes horrifying just because of the premise upon which the story is based." ?Glenda Bixler, Book Reviewer

Person
Prior to becoming a writer, Russell Brooks considers himself fortunate that he had the opportunity to be an Indiana Hoosier Track Champion and Canadian Track Team member in both the 100 and 200 meters. It was during Brooks's travels across Canada, the United States, and Europe, that he came up with his story ideas and came up with outlines for his future thrillers which he would later writer.
His BS in Biology from Indiana University helped him to write his first spy thriller, Pandora's Succession, followed by the short story collection Unsavory Delicacies. The latest addition to the spy series is The Demeter Code. So far, it appears that this series is far from over. The standalone thriller, Chill Run, was released afterwards.
What makes Brooks's spy series unique is rather than focus on plots which strictly revolve around political matters-both domestic and international-Brooks is more creative by combining stories that are literally ripped from the headlines and weaving them with hardcore science and producing the most non-predictable plots imaginable. As a result, Brooks's works have been compared to those of a young Michael Crichton, Robert Ludlum, and even Dean Koontz.
Although his goal is to keep readers in suspense by writing edge-of-your seat and page-turning thrillers, he may occasionally dash off a short story, entertain viewers with dramatic readings, or play his violin.
Russell Brooks currently lives in Montreal, Quebec.
