Mystery

Barely into his first week at college, horticultural student, DERRICK STABB, gets caught in a deadly web as fellow students of unmistakable Aryan traits, vanish. Derrick is cast into the limelight of suspicion after he reveals to police a bloody discovery in a laboratory jar. Uncomfortably aware he fits the same qualities, Derrick suspects a faceless adversary—an expert in plant science—has hatched an unspeakable experiment linking human genes to an undiscovered blue rose. The plot becomes even more intricate as the botanist’s rich Jewish benefactor who desires the new cultivar be named after her, puts the pressure on him unleashing her hidden agenda—to avenge the annihilation of her parents and six million Jews. How the Thorn Boy, the small, innocent-looking sculpture brought back by Derrick’s Grandfather’s army buddy after WWII, figures into her family’s legacy lands not only Derrick, but his doting Grandmother, the statue’s owner, squarely in the middle of an insane and deadly plan.
