Una muerte sospechosa

A tres horas de Washington, dos instituciones clandestinas conviven con un rio fuertemente custodiado de por medio. Una de ellas es uno de los laboratorios mas inusuales del mundo, cuyos objetivos y financiacion son un misterio. La otra es territorio de la Camp Peary, un campo de entrenamiento de elite secreto. Ahora, un hombre y una mujer estan a punto de abrir una brecha en estas dos organizaciones, que pretenden explotar un descubrimiento de un potencial muy destructivo y ocultar otros secretos para siempre. Las vidas de Sean King y Michelle Maxwell, ex agentes secretos convertidos en investigadores privados, no atraviesan un buen momento. Michelle permanece inconsciente en una cama de hospital tras un intento de suicidio. Y Sean se ve forzado a aceptar una ingrata aparentemente, el cientifico Monk Turing se ha suicidado en Babbage Town, la comunidad cientifica cerrada y semi secreta que se situa al lado de Camp Peary. / A three-hour drive from Washington, D.C., two clandestine institutions face each other across a heavily guarded river. One is the world's most unusual laboratory, whose goals and funding are a mystery. The other is an elite CIA training camp shrouded in secrecy. Now a man and a woman are about to run a gauntlet between these two puzzle factories, straight into a furious struggle to exploit a potentially world-shattering discovery--and keep some other secrets underwraps forever... Former secret service agents turned private investigators Sean King and Michelle Maxwell have seen their lives splinter around them. Michelle lies unconscious ina hospital bed after a night of suicidal violence. And Sean is forced to take on a thankless investigation into the murder of a scientist just inside the CIA's razor-wire fence near Williamsburg, Virginia. Soon he is uncovering layer after layer of disinformation that shields a stunning world filled with elite mathematics, physicists, war heroes, spies, and deadly field agents. Amid more murder, a seemingly autistic girl's extraordinary genius, and a powerful breakthrough in the realm of classified codes, Sean soon learns enough to put his life at risk. Now more than ever, he needs Michelle--at her best--to help stop a conspiracy of traitors operating in the shadow of the White House itself.
