The Ariadne Connection by Sara Stamey

Journey to the Crossroads of Science and Myth- -Winner of the Chanticleer Global Thriller Grand Prize and the Cygnus Award for Speculative Fiction. The New Leprosy plague and a geomagnetic reversal threaten the world’s precarious balance. An unlikely trio may hold the key to reset the compass of the world:

•“Saint Ariadne” Demodakis—a Greek bioelectricity researcher who realizes she’s curing plague victims by laying on hands.

•Peter Mitchell—a jaded American veteran of the latest Gulf War, now a smuggler in the Mediterranean.

•Leeza Conreid—a paparazza equipped with the latest neurally-connected media implants, who wants revenge and a big story.

Peter, blackmailed into bringing Leeza along, hires on with reclusive Ariadne to secretly transport her to sacred sites in the Greek islands. She seeks to confirm a connection between the pandemic, geologic upheavals, and ancient lore that promises healing for humans and the planet.
