Past Bloom: An Elias Kane Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185815687)

A burned body. An impossible mystery.

When an unidentified woman is discovered in a remote Midwestern dead zone, the only clue left behind is a drug that should never have existed outside Meridian's laboratories.

Elias Kane is sent to recover it.

Kept alive by the very corporation that owns the drug, Kane isn't just investigating the case-he's investigating the one thing keeping himself alive.

As the victim's past unravels, every answer leads to another impossible question. False identities. Missing records. A supply chain hidden in plain sight. And somewhere above it all, someone is quietly rewriting the rules of life and death.

What begins as a murder investigation becomes something far more dangerous: the discovery of Bloom, an unstable black-market version of the world's most closely guarded neurochemical.

To some, Bloom is hope.

To others, it's a death sentence.

And to the powerful people who built it...

...it's worth killing to protect.

Now Kane must decide how much of the truth can survive-and whether exposing it is worth destroying the only future he has left.

Past Bloom is the first novel in the Elias Kane Thriller series-a gripping near-future mystery where biotechnology, corporate power, and impossible crimes collide.
