Some truths were never meant to be spoken.
Augur Bryn Ashton’s touch reveals truth, and, in a world where genetic mutations grant enhanced abilities, that makes him both indispensable and a target.
After a rare day off is cut short, Bryn and his lupine detective partner Gunnar Ericson are assigned to investigate Thanacrine, a synthetic drug that boosts gene-enhanced abilities but causes violent psychosis and death. The trail leads to mob boss Salvatore Russo and a biotech company with a suspicious agenda. To infiltrate their network, Bryn must team up with the enigmatic sanguine Giles Delacourt, his nemesis and former trainer, to pose as investors at a fundraising business event.
As the operation unfolds, the team uncovers illegal experimentation and possible federal involvement. A raid on a lab ends in tragedy, and a mission in Philadelphia nearly costs Bryn his life. With the body count rising, the emotional toll deepens, and so does the bond between Bryn and Gunnar.
The final showdown at a high-profile memorial turns Boston’s Cathedral of the Holy Cross into a bloodstained battleground. With tension mounting and a serial killer resurfacing, Bryn must rely on Gunnar and confront the cost of chasing truth when enemies are everywhere and nothing is as it seems.
Pulse-pounding and tense, this second installment in The Augur series raises the stakes and leaves Bryn treading a delicate line between survival and the vulnerability that comes with opening his heart to love.
