A Medical Thriller
In the freezing depths of the Atlantic, the deadliest predator isn't the water. It's the passenger standing next to you.
Spring, 1914. Two years after the Titanic, the luxury liner SS Atlantica sails as a gilded ghost ship. Her corridors are half-empty, her crew on edge. For brilliant but disgraced surgeon Dr. Evelyn Thorne, it's a floating exile-until the blood starts to spill.
When passengers begin collapsing from a gruesome, hemorrhagic fever that shouldn't exist in the frigid North Atlantic, Evelyn uncovers a chilling truth: someone has weaponized a lethal, engineered pathogen. And they are using the First Class as a laboratory.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with the ship's haunted young Captain and a marginalized but fiercely intelligent orderly, Evelyn must hunt a phantom murderer through a labyrinth of locked doors and deadly secrets. But the killer isn't their only threat.
As a massive gale batters the Atlantica, a heavily armed British cruiser shadows their every move. Its top-secret orders from the Admiralty are clear: If the plague spreads, sink the vessel to bury the evidence.
Trapped between a ticking clock of infection, the guns of the Royal Navy, and the unforgiving ocean, Evelyn must reclaim the fearless surgeon she once was to synthesize a cure from the ship's meager supplies. On the Atlantica, time is running out, and the only thing spreading faster than the fever is fear.
