King Mamba

Supermodel KACY KOSKA has it all—fame, fortune, and a fiancé who adores her. But when she returns to her San Francisco mansion after a romantic weekend in Los Angeles, a genetically engineered snake is waiting in her bathroom. The exotic king mamba strikes fast, injecting venom that no hospital can identify.

Her fiancé, Los Angeles ADA MATT SULLIVAN, races north to find Kacy in intensive care with a mysterious toxin ravaging her system. The doctors give her fourteen days—if she's lucky. Matt's investigation uncovers a chilling truth: someone is orchestrating Kacy's death with scientific precision, leaving daily taunting messages counting down her remaining time.

The snake is no ordinary reptile. Created at the GRAE Institute through cutting-edge genetic engineering, the king mamba combines the deadliest aspects of black mamba venom with California King snake immunity factors. Only its creator, DR. ROBERT MACFADDEN, knows the antivenom formula—and he's not talking.

Matt's search for answers leads him through San Francisco's criminal underworld to a beautiful woman named EVA FALCONI, who has been posing as a maid in Kacy's neighborhood. Eva's obsession with Matt dates back to their brief affair years earlier, before he met Kacy. Unable to let go, Eva has crafted an elaborate revenge plot backed by her aunt, CONTESSA VITTORIA D'AMICO, whose connections to a Swiss pharmaceutical giant add a deadly layer of international industrial espionage.

As Kacy battles hallucinations and memory lapses caused by the venom's neurological assault, Matt races against time with help from his tough ex-cop father, SAM SULLIVAN. They discover Eva has been monitoring Kacy's every move through surveillance equipment, learning her routines, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

When Matt finally tracks down Dr. MacFadden, the scientist is murdered before revealing the antivenom formula—but not before mailing critical research data to Eva. Matt realizes he must play Eva's twisted game to save Kacy's life. He allows himself to become her prisoner, gambling that her obsessive love will make her reveal the cure.

Eva takes Matt to a remote Marin County ranch that serves as a front for the pharmaceutical espionage ring. There, Swiss scientists plan to steal the king mamba research worth billions. But Eva's fantasy of reuniting with Matt shatters when she realizes he's only using her. In a climactic confrontation, Eva's aunt and the scientists turn on them both, releasing a deadly black mamba into their cage.

In a shocking act of redemption, Eva sacrifices herself to save Matt from the snake, taking multiple lethal bites while he kills the serpent. Before dying, she reveals the location of the antivenom data. Racing back to San Francisco as Kacy enters a coma on day fourteen, Matt delivers the formula to Dr. Haddox with minutes to spare.

The experimental treatment works. As Kacy slowly emerges from her coma to the sound of their song, "Unforgettable," she weakly asks Matt to dance—the same request she made after their first kiss years ago. The fourteen days of torment are over, but the experience has only strengthened their bond.

KING MAMBA delivers a razor-sharp thriller that combines cutting-edge science with old-fashioned obsession, where love and revenge intertwine as tightly as a snake around its prey. In the end, it takes a twisted love to save a true one.
