Description

In this chilling medical thriller, Robin Cook masterfully intertwines cutting-edge genetic science with a gripping murder investigation. When a mobster's autopsy reveals bizarre biological anomalies, detectives Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery are drawn into a conspiracy far more complex than they imagined. Their investigation uncovers a shadowy biotechnology firm in Africa pushing the boundaries of cloning and animal research, potentially blurring the lines between man and ape. As the stakes escalate, the novel explores the terrifying ethical implications of manipulating our very genetic code, posing the question of what happens when scientific ambition outpaces human morality.
