Ex-army cryptologist William Sandberg is abducted from his room in a Stockholm hospital by a shadowy organization that orders him to code a reply to a mysterious message. William isn't quite a guest at the Alpine castle, nor is he exactly a prisoner. The men in charge, though, will do whatever is necessary to get his help. Meanwhile, William's estranged journalist wife, Christina, is determined to track him down despite the risks, while Janine, a young scientist who uncovered some dangerous information, is kidnapped by the same group holding William. Ever resourceful, Janine and William attempt to escape their captors several times, but as they uncover more of the truth, they're forced to stay and discover the meaning of what's hidden in our DNA or witness the greatest human catastrophe yet.
VERDICT Swedish screenwriter Olsson's debut novel is a thrilling page-turner reminiscent of the of the works of Michael Crichton or David Baldacci. Fans of suspense and adventure fiction will enjoy traveling along with the protagonists across continental Europe in search of answers. Each revelation is unexpected and an intriguing twist that keeps readers hanging on.
