Three weeks after 9/11, a man in Florida is rushed to the hospital with a mysterious illness. As soon as doctors realize what’s killing him, it sets off one of the largest and most bizarre FBI investigations in U.S. history.
Anthrax.
In the mail.
Targeting the media and members of Congress.
And absolutely no one was prepared for what came next.
