Dead Man's Code

Dr. Elias Kross spent twenty years running—from his past, from the lies, and from the lethal reach of Borne Research Laboratory. Once their top scientist, he had uncovered their darkest secret: Project Pandora, a bioweapon designed to wipe out populations with surgical precision, disguised as a miracle cure.

Branded a traitor and hunted across continents, Elias vanished under false identities. But dying of cancer left him with one final mission—a sealed letter to his estranged daughter, Claire, a Boston journalist who believed he had abandoned her.

When the letter arrives after his death, it shatters everything she thought she knew. Inside is a confession, damning evidence, and a chilling instruction:

Enter the code every 48 hours… or the truth goes public.

Then the attacks begin.

A speeding car. A sniper’s bullet. A fire in her office. The corporation knows she has the files—and they will kill her before she exposes them.

Forced into a life-or-death game, Claire follows her father’s hidden trail—safe houses, encrypted messages, whispers from survivors of Borne’s experiments. Each step brings her closer to uncovering a conspiracy that spans governments and boardrooms… and closer to her own execution.

Because Borne isn’t just protecting its secrets.

It’s preparing to sell them.

And the buyer isn’t a country. It’s an enemy with no flag.

The clock is ticking. If she fails, millions will die.

If she succeeds, she’ll paint the largest target in the world on her back.
