A specialist in corporate espionage for the pharma industry, Schofield Adams, is at the top of his game, regularly helping one pharma get big settlements from another for IP theft in the high stakes game of drug R&D. Then a new assignment comes his way that is like none he has ever seen before. A researcher has gone missing for MycoPharma, a drug company specializing in the medicinal properties of mushrooms.

But Schofield doesn't do missing persons ... or does he?

Maybe it's the high-pitched desperation of the client's approach that induces him to take this case ... leading him into a bleak pursuit, which ultimately takes him to the doorstep of the world's first genomic terrorist.
