"You can't let it fall into their hands. Keep it safe. Don't go to the police." At five minutes to midnight, Dr. Gabrielle Shilling is toasting a successful experiment with her mentor. By the time the clock strikes twelve, her mentor is dead, her laboratory's been blown to pieces, and she's running for her life through New York City. Clutched in her hands is a report on Operation Nightcrawl, a top-secret project she never knew existed... A report that hints at a powerful weapon she may unknowingly have helped create... If she wants to live through the night, she'll have to keep running. If she wants to live any longer, she'll have to find out what part she played in Operation Nightcrawl and who wants her dead.
