What if the cure already existed?
When a medical breakthrough threatens powerful interests, progress becomes negotiable.
In medicine, silence can be as dangerous as the truth.
Cold Blood is a medical and crime thriller set in a world where scientific progress is not driven solely by discovery, but by who stands to gain — and who stands to lose.
When a potential medical breakthrough emerges, it quickly becomes clear that saving lives is only part of the equation. As political pressure and corporate interests close in, truth becomes negotiable, silence is rewarded, and the cost of speaking out escalates.
Grounded in realism, Cold Blood explores the tension between public good and private power, and the consequences that follow when medicine collides with money, influence, and fear.
