About this title

Synopsis

The CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, a ring of 27 kilometres to delve into elementary matter, study the quark b, find the Higgs boson or produce a small black hole that could alter time.

Alfred Durrell, Physics Professor, receives the Prince of Asturias Award for Scientific and Technical Research. A few days later, he disappears in the River Cam in strange circumstances, in which are directly involved Professor Mark Arhart, Durrell´s colleague, and a man who has bribed Arhart and several CERN scientists to use the LHCw experiment for his own purposes.

Arhart, with a clear conscience, will take charge of the project, all planned by a woman who wants to stay behind the scenes. But they ignore someone who has witnessed the incident in the Cam and this will put the police on the trail. This will lead to a series of unexpected consequences for the project, Arhart and everyone involved.

In a crescendo of twists and turns that keep you turning the page, the action switches from the Prince of Asturias Awards to Fitzwilliam College in Cambridge, from Scotland Yard to Central Park, from the LHCw control room in Geneva to the roads of a pre-uprising Tunis. The novel’s complex plot tells of a scientific conspiracy driven by ambition, power and vengeance as much as the need for justice, love and friendship, creating a mystery where humour and knowledge play an important role.
