DARK ALCHEMY
Dr. Sylvia Strange Book 5
A string of renowned scientists have been found dead of lethal poisoning. The FBI has just one suspect, the brilliant toxicologist Dr. Christine Palmer. The doctor has an eccentric personality and classified access to the world’s most deadly experimental neurotoxins, but the FBI has no proof.
“Life-saving science meets mass destruction.”
In Sarah Lovett’s high-stakes thriller Dark Alchemy, forensic psychologist Sylvia Strange is drawn into a chilling world of scientific genius and deadly deception. When a string of suspicious deaths points toward the misuse of lethal neurotoxins, Sylvia finds herself face-to-face with the brilliant and enigmatic Dr. Christine Palmer—a world-renowned toxicologist whose charisma is as potent as the poisons she studies.
Set against the stark, atmospheric backdrop of New Mexico—from the secretive laboratories of “the Hill” to the vibrant parks of Santa Fe—the investigation unearths a terrifying reality. As the death toll rises and the specter of biological warfare looms, Sylvia must navigate a maze of “dark alchemy” where the line between life-saving research and mass destruction has dangerously blurred.
