The Wilcox Disappearance: What Really Happened

Some discoveries were never meant to be made. Some people were never meant to be found.

They were an unlikely pair: Claire-Marie Wilcox, polished scion of New Orleans society, and Jon Armstrong, a self-made outsider with a mind like no one had ever encountered. Their meeting was an accident. Their partnership was inevitable. Their discovery was catastrophic.

When Jon unlocks a method to manipulate DNA at its most fundamental level, the implications are staggering — a cure for disease, or a weapon of unimaginable destruction. With global powers closing in, the couple faces an impossible choice: reveal their discovery and lose control of it, or disappear and take the secret with them.

They chose to vanish.

Now the FBI, Russian intelligence, and a brilliant private firm are racing to find them — each for their own reasons, and none willing to stop.
