The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series continues... "Anti-Aging doesn't mean Anti-Dying..." In the cutthroat world of biohacking, where the quest to reverse aging teeters on the edge of madness, the line between success and disaster is razor-thin. Stephen Kline, a powerful sponsor of the Rejuvenation Royale Tournament, is found dead in his cryotherapy chamber—a brutal murder that sends shockwaves through the elite competition. As DCI Declan Walsh and his team delve into the high-stakes world of biohacking, they uncover a labyrinth of cutting-edge science, where competitors push the boundaries of biology and technology in their quest to cheat time. This is a realm where DNA is rewritten, bodies are optimized, and death is merely an obstacle to overcome—for those who can afford it. But beneath the glossy surface lies a dangerous game of ambition, betrayal, and lethal rivalries, where the price of success is a two million dollar prize, and the price of failure is everything. With each new body, the stakes climb higher, revealing a killer who’s always one step ahead. In this deadly contest, Walsh must navigate a world where biohacked bodies and AI-driven schemes are weapons, and time is running out. But in this ruthless game, survival means outsmarting the competition—or becoming the next victim...
