The side effect of immortality is madness.

History says the Vikings never sailed south of Newfoundland. Medical science says the human body cannot live past 120 years.On the tiny Caribbean island of Anguilla, history and science are both wrong.Dr. Riley Richards, a field researcher for Centex Pharmaceuticals, specializes in the impossible. But when a routine database flag points him to a local man who supposedly lived to be 160, he expects a hoax. Instead, he finds a biological anomaly that shatters everything we know about human aging.Deep in the island’s interior, hidden near a 12th-century Viking rune stone, lies a natural well. The water inside cures disease. It regenerates cells. It halts death.It is the Holy Grail of biology. It is also a trap.The Vikings died protecting the secret for a reason. Without a specific antidote found in the local "bush tea," the water doesn’t just grant life, it destroys the mind. Now, Riley’s boss, the ruthless CEO John Seberten, has consumed the water without the tea. Driven by chemically induced psychosis and desperate to reverse his own decline, Seberten has dispatched a team of mercenaries to secure the source and silence Riley forever.Trapped between a government cover-up and a deranged billionaire, Riley and his partner Mark must race to unlock the chemistry of Brighton’s Tea before the cure for death becomes the cause of his own.Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton’s science, the ethical stakes of John le Carré, and the atmospheric suspense of Shutter Island
