Prepare to be captivated by this "smart" and "engrossing" thriller, as Kirkus Reviews raves about Juan Gutierrez's quest to unlock the secrets of cancer immunity. New York Times bestselling author F. Paul Wilson lauds it as "an intriguing science thriller with a nail-biting finale."

In the heart of scientific discovery, Juan Gutierrez, a dedicated cancer researcher, delves into the genomes of creatures that defy cancer's grip. Years of meticulous study reveal a pattern, an enigma that spans millennia and foretells the course of evolution across countless generations.

From this pattern, Juan unearths the elusive key to humanity's battle against cancer. Yet, unbeknownst to him, the genetic treasure he dubs "Darwin's Cipher" has attracted the attention of those with darker motives.

Enter Nate Carrington, the sharp-witted FBI forensic analyst wrestling with unsolvable cases. A chilling incident at a remote ranch sets the stage—a newborn calf surrounded by a herd of lifeless cattle, its DNA a baffling enigma that connects to Nate's unresolved mysteries.
