One DNA sample. Three suspects. The perfect offline flight thriller. Read the novel anywhere.
# One DNA sample matches three people – all alive, all with alibis, all unknown to each other.
Dr. Saya Torres expected routine forensic work: evidence analysis, DNA matching, standard procedure. Instead, the DNA links three living suspects to one victim. The case exposes an underground network manufacturing untraceable humans.
