Detector

What if the secret to humanity’s future was buried in its past?

Beth is a gifted CIA scientist with a strange immunity and a sharp mind attuned to chemical patterns and scent. But when her current investigation implicating her late husband—a disgraced CIA agent—leads her to a remote Pacific island and a mythic tree unlike anything on record, Beth finds herself at the center of a mystery with ancient roots and staggering implications.

Driven by a need to vindicate her husband and understand the truth he died chasing, Beth uncovers a world of hidden forces, both scientific and spiritual. She’s pursued by Keegan, a biotech mogul bent on engineering the next stage of human evolution, and shadowed by the Seekers—a secretive group sworn to protect the tree and its knowledge. With help from unlikely allies, including the blunt and resourceful Syx and the enigmatic John, Beth must confront a past that reshapes everything she thought she knew about herself—and about where humans truly come from.

Blending speculative science, deep mythology, and emotional tension, Detector is the first novel in a gripping trilogy that explores the cost of knowledge, the pull of legacy, and the blurry line between discovery and destiny.

The novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite—transitioning into present tense, refining its plot, and deepening its character arcs in preparation for its next chapters.
