Sarah, now in her early 30s, works as an \u003cstrong\u003einvestigative journalist\u003c\/strong\u003e for a San Francisco newspaper. Ricki, after obtaining a Ph.D., realizes her dream of working in marine biology by heading up a \u003cstrong\u003emolecular genetics\u003c\/strong\u003e lab at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in La Jolla, California. Investigations of the missing woman by the FBI, NCIS, HSA and international security agencies reveal that \u003cstrong\u003eeco-terrorism\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eindustrial espionage \u003c\/strong\u003eare, simultaneously, complicit in a plot to steal and patent application of \u003cstrong\u003ethermal hysteresis\u003c\/strong\u003e in mammalian living tissue. Ricki's biotech research on \u003cstrong\u003eantifreeze proteins\u003c\/strong\u003e, in association with Dr. Tankersley's renowned research at UC San Diego, makes her the next probable target. Her father, working for NCIS, is highly protective and reluctant to tell his daughter of the peril, but Sarah rushes to warn her friend of the developing danger, catapulting them both into a dangerous predicament reminiscent of an event that occurred over a decade ago in the \u003cstrong\u003elast summer of high school\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ricki changes her career path after realizing that her brand of research fuels the agenda of cutthroat businessmen, mercenaries and radicalized environmentalists. Sarah abandons attachments to her childhood days on the Oregon coast and strides fully into her life as an award-winning journalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e K.
