Operation Genocide - a timeless thriller

An inhuman agenda… 

Annette Pretorius lives a life of privilege, but when her husband is murdered, she discovers a shattering secret: he’d been commissioned by the government to develop a lethal virus. 

A clandestine organization… 

The murder came with a warning to Annette from a secretive organization: keep our secrets or you too will die. Captain Trevor Watson, Annette’s former boyfriend, is appointed to lead the investigation. Watson’s loyalty is tested as the evidence stacks against his high school sweetheart. 

And the killing isn’t over yet… 

When the investigation points in a terrifying direction, Annette and Watson face a wrenching choice: protect those they love or sacrifice all to save innocents from extermination.
