Description

When a young Turkish boy survives a bite from a deadly viper without apparent harm, doctors begin to suspect that his blood carries a rare immunity descended from the ancient poison-resistant King Mithradates. News of the discovery sparks a deadly international struggle, marked by stolen medical records, murder, and ruthless attempts to seize the boy’s secret. Drawn into the investigation, Lang Reilly and his wife, Gurt, travel to Turkey—only to face criminal conspiracies, corrupt officials, and a dangerous abduction. Blending historical mystery with high-stakes thriller suspense, the novel explores the enduring power of ancient secrets and the lengths people will go to control a potentially revolutionary discovery.
