Review

You'll probably guess what's behind the murders of mothers and their very young sons long before investigator Joe Lassiter does, but that shouldn't spoil your enjoyment of this exciting and thoughtful new thriller that mixes science and faith in with its action. Lassiter's own sister and beloved nephew are among the victims, who were all patients at an Italian fertility clinic run by a doctor with some unusual ideas about DNA. Why this catches the attention of a dangerous religious order, and whether Lassiter can save one surviving woman and child from their wrath, should take up a good part of your night.

From the Publisher

I read Genesis Code in a very early form when I was trying to get some ideas for the cover. As a matter of fact, the editor would only give me the first few chapters of the manuscript, because the concept that the plot revolved on was a very "hot" one, and we didn't want any "leaks." I had to wait until the book was published to read every word. I certainly hope that my cover design and illustration actually managed to convey the thrilling and engrossing character of this very exciting novel!
