Autor: Shanon Hunt
Sinopse: A secret society of true believers will do whatever it takes to become Pure.
…unaware that they will soon be victims of the most chilling medical discovery in human history.
And this is only the beginning.
DEA Special Agent Peter Malloy is no stranger to the devastating impact of drugs. So when six bodies turn up with surgical ports implanted in their spines, he’s sure a potent new opioid is the culprit. But when lab tests show zero evidence of any known narcotics, he fears something far more sinister.
Allison Stevens thought she knew everything about her boss. But after he disappears, she’s stunned to discover his secret genetic research in pain tolerance. When she becomes the target of the FBI’s investigation, Allison has only one move. She must expose his illegal experiment. There’s just one problem. Some secrets will be protected at any cost.
Their search for answers leads them to a dark, eerie cult, where true believers seem perilously addicted to suffering, devoted to purification.
The Pain Colony is a gripping suspense thriller--you’ll be plunged into terrifying twists of modern science, chilling tension, and stunning revelations that will leave you breathless.
