Husk of the Gilded

In the gleaming towers of the Gardner Federation, eternal youth is the ultimate commodity, a luxury harvested from the unseen. When a genetically edited humanoid designed as a living organ farm escapes a clandestine laboratory owned by the biotech giant NexumGen, federal investigator Julian Moss is drawn into a nightmare. His pursuit traces a thread from opulent penthouses to a privatized prison where the incarcerated are exploited as raw material for the elite's longevity. Told in the stark, psychological prose of a modern American thriller, this story exposes the invisible brutality sustaining a polished civilization.
