About this listen
When thieves steal holy relics from the Vatican Museums, he suspects the antiquities cartel he shut down is still operating. But something doesn’t add up.
As Darwin chases evidence of the saint’s bones from Rome to Kyrgyzstan and Warsaw, he meets an investigative reporter who links them to a series of devasting attacks on remote Siberian villages. Has someone genetically engineered a bioweapon?
With time running out and no government willing to investigate Russia, Darwin must put an end to this doomsday group before it unleashes unspeakable terror on humanity.
Genesis Plague is book six in the Darwin Lacroix Adventures series: archaeological thrillers with plenty of action, plausible science, and characters you’d invite to dinner.
If you enjoyed Dan Brown's Inferno and watching Contagion, then you’ll love Genesis Plague!
