Omschrijving
A trivial wound. A death sentence.
For Dr. Kaelen Archer, it was a phrase that belonged in his great-grandfather's dusty medical journals from a time before miracles. But when a simple scrape on a playground costs his nine-year-old goddaughter her life, he is confronted with a terrifying truth: the age of miracles is over. The culprit is a terrifying new superbug, an enemy armed with a perfect, unbreakable shield that renders a billion-dollar arsenal of modern antibiotics useless.
Devastated by grief and driven by a promise, Kaelen abandons his practice to hunt the ghost that killed Lily. His only clue is the bacteria's unique genetic signature—a "Devil's Fingerprint"—that could trace the plague back to its source. His investigation plunges him into a century-old war his family has fought in secret, unearthing a conspiracy of silence that began in the 1920s and is now masterminded by Marcus Thorne, a titan of industry whose vast corporate empire is built on a foundation of rational, profitable, and catastrophic evil.
As Kaelen follows the trail from the sterile corridors of his hospital to a poisoned river in rural India, he is hunted by Thorne's shadowy operatives who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets. With the official doors of medicine and government slammed shut, Kaelen's only allies are a small team of renegade scientists who have developed a revolutionary—and illegal—cure that could either be humanity's salvation or a catastrophic mistake.
Devil's Fingerprint is a globe-spanning thriller that blends the scientific precision of Michael Crichton with the relentless pacing of a modern conspiracy novel. It is a story not about a distant, dystopian future, but a bulletin from a war we are already losing, a war where the stakes are nothing less than the future of medicine itself. In a world where our greatest weapons have failed, can one man's hunt for justice turn the tide before the silence is all that's left?
