Randall Wood, Tom Hale

This investigative nonfiction account examines the 2001 anthrax attacks, tracing the deadly mailings, the victims they left behind, and the far-reaching impact on American society. Randall Wood and Tom Hale reconstruct the investigation through the evidence, official response, and competing theories that shaped the search for those responsible. Along the way, the book explores fear, government accountability, forensic science, and the public’s enduring need for answers. Thorough and compelling, it offers a detailed look at one of the most unsettling chapters of the post-9/11 era without reducing its human cost to a mystery alone.
