A chilling, horribly plausible international thriller where secrets of the past rock the security of the future.
When Leon Garrick is despatched to negotiate a ransom in Spain, he does not know his client is harboring a deadly secret: a program to develop racially targeted viruses. Then things go hideously wrong and the secret takes them from a village in the North of Spain to the heart of Washington. Driven by different needs but united by a common goal, they all want justice, but face an enemy who cannot allow the secret to be revealed.
This is a multi-layered thriller with hugely topical and controversial themes, including the recently revealed relationship between virus and racial genetic make-up which will enable chemical virus weapons to be targeted at specific races: weapons could theoretically be developed to affect particular versions of genes clustered in specific ethnic or family groups. Simultaneously, and while sustaining a thrilling pace, as always Roderick Kalberer portrays brilliantly his characters and their motivations.
