Description

In the shadows of power, survival is never guaranteed.

Washington, D.C., 1996

Mike Green has built a career writing about dead girls, but nothing could have prepared him for the file he stumbles on at the National Archives: the death of Delilah Grennan, a murdered Soviet dissident with ties to the Russian underworld. What begins as research becomes obsession, until her voice bleeds into his mind, her enemies become his, and paranoia pushes him deeper into the shadows.

Dragged into a covert war between a global crime syndicate, intelligence agencies, and a political dynasty that considers him family, Mike learns too late that the only way to survive is sometimes to be buried.
In the shadows of politics and power, truth is a casualty.

Dark, suspenseful, and razor-sharp, Double Helix blends the psychological intensity of a suspense thriller with the intrigue of an espionage novel. Perfect for fans of John le Carré, Robert Ludlum, and readers who crave dark, character-driven political conspiracy thrillers laced with sarcastic wit a la The Americans, House of Cards, and The Night Manager.
