Description:

**Repairman Jack returns in a sequel to the *New York Times* bestseller, *The Tomb!*** Repairman Jack has been tearing up the urban adventure scene ever since he was introduced in the* New York Times* bestseller *The Tomb*. As his fans know, Repairman Jack doesn�t deal with electronic appliances; he�s a situation fixer, no matter how weird or deadly a situation may be. Repairman Jack has no last name, no Social Security number, and no qualms when it comes to getting the job done�even if it means putting himself in serious danger. After fifteen years of separation, Jack is contacted by his long-lost sister, Kate, to help her track down the source of her girlfriend Jeanette�s sudden trance-like behavior. Referred by a mysterious stranger who gives only Jack�s name and phone number, Kate is shocked to find out that the �repairman� she seeks is none other than her little brother�and not altogether happy to find out what little �Jackie� has been doing with himself for all these years. With Jack leading the way, Kate finds out that Jeannette�s behavior can be traced back to the experimental therapy she underwent for a brain tumor: now Jeannette�s brain and those of several other subjects are infected by a mutated virus. Like any good virus, it wants to multiply�and if Jack can�t stop the virus in its path, there will be deadly results. Meanwhile, Jack is traveling on the 9 train when suddenly a passenger goes berserk and starts shooting at random�leaving Jack no choice but to throw himself into the spotlight by putting the shooter down. Worse for Jack, one of his fellow passengers is a reporter for the local tabloid, *The Light*, who sees Jack�s heroism as his ticket to journalistic stardom. The reporter promises to make Jack a celebrity hero, a household name�which could mean the end of Repairman Jack as we know him.
