Covid and other demons

In "Twisted Needle," an edge-of-your-seat series, surgeon and undercover FBI agent, Dr. John Savino, races against time to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic. This alternative history fiction delves into hospital politics, medical deception, and the shadowy underbelly of human trafficking, taking readers from the U.S. to the heart of an international conspiracy.

Dr. Savino's expertise draws the attention of the FBI to avert a global biological catastrophe. He navigates a perilous journey from the outbreak's suspected origins in Wuhan China to the black markets of Germany and Oman, where he disrupts the distribution of the stolen antidote. His covert operation is critical to stopping a virulent virus unleashed by an organization seeking to manipulate the world's population and economy. Echoing the intense thrills of the Jason Bourne series and the medical-detective fusion found in Tess Gerritsen's "The Surgeon," "Twisted Needle" presents a unique hero—a combination of surgeon and agent—with international intrigue. This series is akin to Michael Palmer's and Robin Cook's works.
