Helix Nexus by Chris Lofts

When Major Nathan Helix’s commanding officer plunges 55 floors to his death, everybody agrees that Helix is the obvious choice of investigator.
The Home Secretary intervenes. Helix refuses to stand down and chooses suspension over desk duty. Together with his cyber-genius brother Ethan.
Chains of evidence point back to a celebrated case, a case centered around politics and power, the pinnacle of Helix’s career. The case is closed and Helix wants it left that way. But long lost family links lurk in the shadows and blood is thicker than water. He’s not the only one determined to reveal his version of the truth. Explosive new evidence demands the case be reopened at the risk of placing Helix and the main prosecution witness, Doctor Gabrielle Stepper in the dock. Helix finds himself waging a war on two fronts. Pitted against that and the system he thought he was part of, he has to find Gabrielle.

2039 Great Britain is socially fractured. The London elite enjoy a life of privilege, comfort and plenty, while those outside forage, hunt and dig for survival.

Major Nathan Helix has survived twenty years of service to his country at the cost of one brother and almost the second. Doctor Gabrielle Stepper, wife of the Chancellor and venerated scientist credited with defeating the virus, craves normality and anonymity. Her dream is shattered along with her reputation when she is accused of murdering her lover.

Helix is assigned to investigate. Stepper’s revelations about a genetically engineered pathogen point to a spurned former colleague with a score to settle. Confronted by his own demons, Helix fights for his and Stepper’s survival in the shadow of a government conspiracy, a lust for revenge and the threat of another global catastrophe.
