Black Gold: Stella LaRosa, Book 3 (Unabridged‪)‬

Power is the ultimate currency. And Carter Barclay has more than most.

Billionaire. Visionary. Monster. The oil tycoon turned biotech kingpin has built an empire on promises of longevity—but behind the doors of his secretive company, ImmortalGen, lies something far darker than the world could ever imagine.

Investigative journalist Stella LaRosa has spent years exposing Barclay’s crimes, but nothing could prepare her for what she’s just uncovered. Cloning. Organ harvesting. Human lives reduced to spare parts for the elite. And now, the key witness who could bring it all crashing down has just been murdered.

As Stella hunts for the truth, she’s forced into an uneasy alliance with Patrick Barclay, Carter’s estranged son, a man trapped between loyalty and the horrifying reality of his father’s sins. But time is running out. ImmortalGen is on the verge of launching its most audacious experiment yet—a program that could rewrite the rules of life and death forever.

With enemies closing in and a conspiracy stretching from boardrooms to the highest levels of power, Stella must make an impossible choice: expose the truth and risk everything—or let a man like Carter Barclay play god.

Perfect for fans of relentless, high-stakes thrillers, Black Gold delivers a pulse-pounding blend of corporate corruption, genetic horror, and investigative suspense that will keep you breathless until the final tick.
