Fran Ray
The Syndicate
Thriller
Gripping and horrifyingly realistic... A young journalist on the trail of a global conspiracy
Fran Ray’s debut thriller, THE SEED, became an instant bestseller and has been published in numerous countries. THE SYNDICATE is her second novel and, once again, she tackles an issue, which is as controversial as it is current: biochip implants. An influential elite has made it their goal to control people by implanting them with RFID chips to biochemically manipulate their actions. A young journalist follows the trail of a global conspiracy.
When journalist Karen meets her former colleague, David, in a Brussels restaurant, she has no idea that this will be the last conversation she’ll ever have with him. David is tense; he believes that someone is following him and hints at the fact that there is something in his life that causes him great worry. As Karen steps outside for a few minutes to make a phone call, someone throws a bomb into the restaurant. David dies on the spot. Was he the target of the attack? David’s last employer was the controversial investigative Internet platform LANZELOT. When Karen follows the trail of his research, it soon becomes clear that he was on the scent of a red-hot story…
