OVERVIEW:
Memphis attorney Harper “Brass” Brasfield’s life is hanging by a thread. Her legal career is collapsing, her family is fractured, and now a case she never wanted is pulling her toward a truth she can’t unsee and a danger she never imagined.
THE STAKES:
Behind the promise of genetic perfection lies a secret experiment: one that aims to eliminate weakness... and rewrite what it means to be human.
THE HERO:
Harper must navigate betrayal, shifting loyalties, and a moral minefield where the world's most powerful are playing god—deciding who is perfected and who is discarded.
THE QUESTIONS:
-
If they control our DNA, do they control our future?
-
Can Harper expose the truth in time—or will a coded rebellion rewrite humanity first?
Winner of the Global Book Awards Silver Medal, Broken Code is a gripping biotech conspiracy thriller exploring the dark promise of genetic perfection, the razor-thin line between progress and oppression, and the unseen forces manipulating humanity from within.
