WASHINGTON D.C. - 1996
Mike Green has built a career writing about dead girls, but nothing could have prepared him for the file he stumbles on at the National Archives: the death of Delilah Grennan, a murdered Soviet dissident with ties to the Russian underworld. What begins as research becomes obsession, until her voice bleeds into his and paranoia pushes him deeper into the shadows.
Dragged into a covert war between a global crime syndicate, intelligence agencies, and a political dynasty that considers him family, Mike learns too late that the only way to survive is sometimes to be buried.
In the shadows of power, survival is never guaranteed.
Dark, suspenseful, and razor-sharp, Double Helix blends the psychological intensity of a suspense thriller with the intrigue of an espionage novel.

One minute you're in 'House of Cards' and the next you're in Anna Karenina, but somehow it works. It really works!
Beneath the shadows and suspicion is a study of grief, love, and loyalty that will haunt you like a ghost.
Chandler, le Carre, and Sorkin walk into a bar... Calder buys them a round and you a whiskey-soaked voyage cut with razor-sharp wit.
