Synopsis
RED217 A Deadly Secret. A Race Against Time. A Weapon That Cannot Be Stopped. In the war-torn streets of Gaza, aid convoy driver Mike Bennett stumbles upon a terrifying anomaly: 144 stolen water bottles, 140 deaths from a haemorrhagic illness that claims lives with ruthless efficiency.
When Mike teams up with private security contractor Andrew “Harry” Harrison and brilliant immunologist Myah Willis to investigate, they uncover a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. The trio discovers “RED217,” a genetically engineered bioweapon designed to target specific DNA markers, turning a harmless virus into a lethal executioner. Orchestrated by the shadowy Michael Letbourne, the project is a “murder-for-hire” service for governments and corporations seeking to erase opposition without a trace.
From the ruins of Rafah to the corridors of Whitehall, the team is hunted by professional assassins as they race to expose the truth. With a new, massive deployment planned for the United States, Harry must navigate a web of betrayal and violence to stop a genocide before it begins. But in a world where water can kill and trust is a luxury, how far will Harry go to ensure justice is served?.
