Evil Intent

Résumé du livre

In this international crime thriller NYPD detectives are confronted with two demanding criminal investigations. The first begins with a reopened cold case file of a missing professor that quickly expands into the examination of the brutal worldwide murders of genetic scientists. In their quest, a plot is uncovered to develop a biotech weapon that will lead to a catastrophe for humanity if not stopped. The second case involves a detective avenging his brother's fentanyl overdose death by recruiting a rival gang member to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel. The undercover agent is inserted into a homicidal world where life has no value and his own is threatened by any miscue. To earn the cartel's trust, he partakes in perilous tests of loyalty and dangerous criminal activities as he ascends their command chain. The detectives drive the investigation forward working with a renowned hacker, a forensic scientist, a US government undercover agent, and an Italian intelligence officer. Their search for evidence takes them through the Manhattan's Chinatown, Rome's churches and ancient underground catacombs, the Pyrenes Mountains, the Chihuahua desert of Mexico, Bariloche, Argentina, and more.
