The Icarus Reflex

by Chris Gray

Something odd is going on. Several seemingly unconnected people have been admitted to different UK hospitals with a new, mystery illness. Each patient appears to display identical symptoms and professional brows are beginning to furrow. Medical investigator, Mathilde Hendrick, is called in to figure it all out but what she initially thinks will be the usual open and shut case quickly spirals from a simple medical matter into an earth-spanning world of kidnap, murder and intrigue. Sinister events begin to stack up causing her to reluctantly accept the protection of a bodyguard and soon they both feel alone in the dark. British Intelligence, the Russian Mafia and a respected Middle Eastern businessman all add to the mix. But what’s the link?

Not knowing who else to trust, they set out alone to try to solve the puzzle that unravels before them, culminating in a conclusion that leaves them no other option but to take matters into their own hands.
