The fetus

In 1921, at the Royal Hospital of Santiago, a secret medical experiment spirals into unimaginable horror. A mother’s scream, a doctor’s despair, and the birth of a nightmare that refuses to die.

Decades later in Madrid, Inspector Juan Marengue is called to investigate what appears to be a routine suicide. But hidden among bloodstained files lie old photographs, reports, and a secret that ties together hospitals, military experiments, and the trafficking of newborns.

Drawn into the case is a young journalist, unwillingly thrust into a world of shadows, and a ruthless hitman who will stop at nothing to protect the truth. As past and present collide, Marengue must uncover the dark legacy of a century-old conspiracy—before it consumes them all.

The Fetus is a chilling blend of medical horror, police procedural, and historical thriller. Visceral, suspenseful, and relentless, it explores how far humanity is willing to go in the name of progress—and what happens when ambition turns to madness.

Perfect for fans of Stephen King, Donato Carrisi, and John Katzenbach, this novel will leave you questioning the thin line between science and monstrosity.
