ABANDONED. Thriller about executives who find a fountain of youth at some sort of european mountain retreat

[Will]

Here are snippets of what I remember:
- I remember it being one of those Dan Brown pseudo-magic ish sort of books
- Was kinda cheesy and unbelievable but I read it all anyway
- Basic plot is we have some executives who go off to a mountain retreat in Europe and come back mysteriously refreshed/healthy/younger
- A father and son enterprise. The father is an executive that is invited to this retreat. somehow the son manages to get over to this retreat too, but not as an official invitee
- The big reveal is that the executives are being rejuvenated by a fountain of youth which is derived from kids - and there is an endless supply of kids in the form of Russian Orphans
- The son frees the orphans and somehow shuts down the retreat, happily ever after

When did you read it? Was it a paper book, ebook, other? Was it self-published or by a big name author? Anything about the cover?

I read it in the last year or so and I am pretty sure it was a paperback. It had to be a recent paperback, because I remember it being one of those "new longer" kind of paperbacks. I keep going back to Joseph Finder, but it isn't one of his. But it is an author who writes very similar to him. It was a big publisher, mass market paperback. THanks for any help.

This sounds a lot like The Methuselah Enzyme by Fred Mustard Stewart. Given your clues, it’s clearly not the same book but it has a very similar premise.

Not everything matches but I'll throw these out anyway -

Altar of Bones

Fountain Society
