A Study in Cinnabar

di Nathaniel Cross (Autore)

Indigo Pen Press, 2026

A murdered billionaire. An impossible autopsy. A scarlet trail buried for twenty-three years. When disgraced forensic toxicologist Noah Vance examines a death that should have been medically impossible, he discovers something chilling: the victim's heart did not simply stop. It hardened. The evidence points to Cinnabarine-D, a mysterious biochemical compound connected to a forgotten research community in the Nevada desert and a young scientist named Maya Thorne, whose discovery vanished with her more than two decades ago. Working beside Vance is Dr. Caleb Brooks, a former military surgeon carrying wounds of his own. Together, they begin following a forensic trail through Boston's laboratories, corporate towers, hidden medical records, and buried secrets. But someone else is already following it. Silas Thorne has spent twenty-three years waiting. Maya was his daughter. And the dying former soldier has returned to collect a debt from the powerful men who destroyed her. As bodies fall and the truth behind a biotechnology empire begins to surface, Vance and Brooks are pulled into a race against a man with nothing left to lose, a conspiracy built to survive exposure, and a poison capable of turning the human heart into its own prison. Because Silas isn't trying to escape. He's trying to finish what began in the desert. And his clock is running out. A Study in Cinnabar is a dark, atmospheric forensic thriller weaving murder mystery, medical suspense, corporate conspiracy, scientific intrigue, and morally complex revenge into a story about what happens when evidence refuses to stay buried. Some crimes disappear into history. Some leave a scarlet thread. The plot elements in this description reflect the manuscript's forensic investigation, Cinnabarine-D mechanism, Maya/Silas history, Caleb and Noah partnership, biotech conspiracy, and Silas's terminal countdown.
