The Helix Project, Book 1

De: J.L. Calder

Narrado por: Nicholas Kennedy

In the shadows of power, survival is never guaranteed.

Washington, D.C., 1996. Mike Green built a career writing about dead girls, but nothing could have prepared him for the file he stumbles on at the National Archives: the death of Delilah Grennan, a murdered Soviet dissident with ties to the Russian underworld. What begins as research becomes obsession, until her voice bleeds into his and paranoia pushes him deeper into the shadows.

Dragged into a covert war between a global crime syndicate, intelligence agencies, and a political dynasty that considers him family, Mike learns too late that the only way to survive is sometimes to be buried.

This work is a sprawling espionage thriller and political noir, blending elements of psychological introspection, high-stakes government machinations, and gritty character-driven drama. With an intricate narrative clockwork and a variety of perspectives, it weaves a story of secret operations, personal betrayals, identity rediscovery, and the interplay between institutional power and individual vulnerability. The multi-layered narrative and morally gray characters position it well among titles that mix high-stakes geopolitics with internal, personal drama.
