They vanished without a trace. Someone is rewriting the human genome—and the future of humanity. When a high-ranking government official is found murdered in a Santa Fe hotel, FBI Agent Liz Shaw and Detective Alejandro Hernandez are pulled into a case no one wants solved. Their investigation leads to a remote facility hidden beneath tribal land—Red Mesa Biotechnics—a company that claims to develop sustainable technology. It's a lie. Funded by the global elite, Red Mesa is perfecting a serum that could extend human life for a thousand years. Children—missing from the reservation—are being used as unwilling test subjects. Over it all, a new kind of intelligence is watching: EVE, a quantum-engineered bio-AI designed to manipulate DNA at the molecular level. As wildfire races across the New Mexico desert, Shaw, Hernandez, and their team must unravel a conspiracy older than science itself—one built on stolen gold, buried identities, and the bodies of the innocent. The truth has been hidden underground. Until now.
