Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In Naples, 1750, the Marquis de Montferrat is confronted in his chamber by Raimundo di Sangro, the Prince of San Severo, who accuses him of being an imposter and demands a secret he believes the marquis holds. The marquis escapes, leaving behind chaos and a prince obsessed with uncovering his secret. Fast forward to Baghdad, 2003, where an army unit raids a villa linked to Saddam’s associates and uncovers a concealed lab filled with the remains of gruesome experiments on men, women, and children. The scientist behind this horror, known only as the hakeem, escapes, taking vital information with him. Among the remnants of his victims, a puzzling clue—a circular Ouroboros symbol—emerges, hinting at a deeper mystery. As the significance of the symbol unfolds, Mia Bishop, a geneticist, finds herself entangled in a conspiracy with the potential to alter the world. The narrative spans from war-torn Baghdad and Beirut in 2006 to the historical backdrop of 18th-century Europe, weaving together suspense and scholarly intrigue in a gripping tale that echoes the rapid-fire storytelling of previous international bestsellers.
