    "It's late Thursday night
 and Inspector Ross Carver is at a crime scene in one of the city's last luxury homes. The dead man on the floor is covered by an unknown substance that's eating through his skin. Before Carver can identify it
 six FBI agents burst in and remove him from the premises. He's pushed into a disinfectant trailer
 forced to drink a liquid that sends him into seizures
 and is shocked unconscious. On Sunday he wakes in his bed to find his neighbor
 Mia--who he's barely ever spoken to--reading aloud to him. He can't remember the crime scene or how he got home; he has no idea two days have passed. Mia says she saw him being carried into their building by plainclothes police officers
 who told her he'd been poisoned. Carver doesn't really know this woman and has no way of disproving her
 but his gut says to keep her close."--
