A story about two rival biotech companies, one of them conspiring to murder the project leader of the most revolutionary advance in preventive medicine ever conceived. A story about a malevolent priest in Colin's hometown working with a scientist to infect parishioners with a bacterium dating back to the 13th century. A story about how four geniuses collaborate to solve one of the oldest mysteries known to mankind - a proof that, if solved, would change the world forever. A story about how all of these strands become intertwined when Colin learns the shocking truth about how his own past is connected to it all. Now nobody is safe, including Colin.
