Dr. Elena Márquez has devoted her career to genetics. Working with a genomics firm to develop a promising weight-loss gene therapy program, Elena is startled to discover the true, nefarious applications intended for her work. The company has been using its viral vectors to embed classified intelligence inside DNA, turning each patient into a walking hard drive. Intending to blow the whistle on the unethical genomics, Elena must go on the run with her knowledge, desperate to find someone who will believe her. Jonathan Pembroke, a burned-out MI6 operative, recognizes the scientific breakthrough for what it is: the first truly untraceable intelligence network. As corporate interests and intelligence agencies converge, Elena and Jonathan must expose a system that exploits medical innovation for clandestine warfare before the consequences become irreversible and they become part of the statistics. Cutting-edge genetics meets international espionage in this medical thriller from debut author Pierce K. Devereaux.
