Dr. Arden Investigates: Crimes of Humanity - Book One: The Order of Renewal
By Barry Sargent
Dr. Arden Vale left the medical world behind after exposing a case that nearly destroyed her career. Now she investigates from a distance, hosting Crimes of Humanity, a true-crime podcast dedicated to uncovering the darkest abuses of science, power, and belief.
When a chilling emergency call leads Arden to a coastal wellness retreat, she uncovers The Order of Renewal-a secretive cult blending genetic experimentation with spiritual doctrine. Members promise rebirth and healing through renewal treatments, but patients begin to vanish. Those who return are altered. Some never return at all.
As Arden digs deeper, she discovers hidden surgical rooms, erased medical records, and a doctrine claiming humanity itself is flawed and must be rewritten. The investigation becomes personal when Arden realizes the cult's lead surgeon is her former mentor-a man she believed was dead and responsible for the horrors she once escaped.
With her podcast drawing public attention and the Order tightening its grip, Arden must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth. The deeper she investigates, the clearer it becomes that the Order doesn't just want silence.
They want her.
The Order of Renewal launches a gripping thriller series that blends medical suspense, cult psychology, and investigative tension-where science becomes faith, bodies become experiments, and truth comes at a cost.
