About this ebook

Geneva, June 2021. As a pandemic rages across the globe, Ornella Conti seeks to clarify the mystery behind the death of her husband, Michael. Four years earlier, a would-be philanthropic organization had approached him to participate in a large-scale project to manufacture a vaccine capable of curing several deadly diseases. The couple had agreed to settle on the island where the top secret lab was to be built. However, the situation gets out of hand, and as she tries to shed light on the past, Ornella becomes the target of an evil conspiracy.

In this captivating novel, Jean de Blonay subtly and intelligently summons current events that are at the heart of a turbulent plot where viruses, conspiracy and love form an explosive cocktail.
