Project Diane
Project Diane is a slow-burning literary thriller narrated by John, a night-shift janitor at HelixPoint Biogenetic Laboratories who has spent twenty years as invisible furniture in a world of scientists, executives, and secrets. When one of the company's top researchers dies suddenly of an ordinary-sounding "respiratory infection," John is assigned to clear out the man's office - and begins quietly piecing together what actually happened behind the sixth floor's closed doors. What starts as one man's overlooked death widens into something that reaches far past the laboratory walls: a spreading public health crisis, ration lines in high school parking lots, and a country trying to hold itself together. Told in four unflinching parts - The Men Who Watch, Patient Zero, The World Outside, and Thirty Hours - the novel moves between corporate corridors and kitchen tables, tracing what people owe each other when institutions fail to. Written in a spare, observational voice, Project Diane is as much about fatherhood, class, and the dignity of unseen labor as it is about the outbreak at its center - a story that trusts its reader and never rushes its reveal.
