The Helix Project

Mike Green 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.

Los Angeles, 2001- Mike Green thought he’d left covert politics behind and built a new life. But when Mike's new life collides with a mission under Tony McCollister's command, the threads that once only connected them now inextricably bind them together. Between the black ops orchestrated in Washington and the gang war raging on the gritty streets of Los Angeles, the real battle is protecting life from a system designed to erase it.

Mike Grennan is still a target on a cartel kill list—but this time, everyone around him is deemed collateral. And when the threat closes in on his daughter, it’s no longer about justice; it’s about family. As compromised agencies collide with covert operations designed to erase evidence and people alike, Grennan, his new partner Annie Diamond, and Tony McCollister find themselves trapped on opposite sides of a system that no longer negotiates. Loyalty becomes liability. Protection becomes exposure. And every decision tightens the spiral toward a reckoning no one fully controls.
