Some patients pay millions for the treatment of their lives. A few of them never leave.
At MitogenLux, a glass-and-steel clinic hidden by a lake, the wealthiest people in the world come for a therapy that promises what money usually can't. The brochures call it a breakthrough. The waiting list is invisible. The results are extraordinary.
And then the bodies start arriving on Dr. Agata Varen's table.
A forensic examiner with a sharp scalpel and an even sharper tongue, Agata expects routine deaths—and finds the opposite. The patients were young. They were healthy. And whatever killed them was never supposed to be seen by anyone outside those perfect white walls.
The clinic says there's nothing to find. The official reports agree. So do the police. So, suddenly, does almost everyone Agata turns to.
But she's already seen too much to stop—and the people who want her to look away are not the kind who ask twice.
The Perseus Project is a razor-edged conspiracy thriller about the moment medicine stops trying to heal us and starts trying to remake us—and how far the powerful will go to keep that line from ever being drawn.
