The Secret of Wuhan

A pandemic has gripped the planet. However, what has shaped the lives of billions is the result of an old idea, the embodiment of a megalomaniacal and delusional plan devised by one of the 20th century's most notorious and ruthless political leaders.

Aware of the danger, Yan Weng-Li, a virologist of Portuguese descent working for the Beijing regime at secret facilities in Wuhan, decides to defect and seek asylum. However, she must first convince Washington that China is using a biological weapon to wreak havoc on the global economy in order to become its pre-eminent power.

Enlisting the help of António Norte, a respected journalist, and Rebecca Clark, a television star with serious political ambitions, to expose what more than a century ago was also at the root of the Spanish flu, will this defector manage to prove everything she knows and prevent China from permanently seizing control of the world, just as Mao Zedong had dreamed? And what role do the major pharmaceutical companies play in all this intrigue? Is people's health just another business like any other? How much is a life worth?
