Synopsis

How far would someone be willing to go to find the missing link between humans and apes?

That's what David Myers is about to find out. He's bending the rules to join the elite group of researchers dominating the emerging field of gene therapy. But just when success is within reach, his cherished career is threatened. It becomes clear that someone else has been bending the rules—on him.

As he searches frantically for an explanation, he discovers a terrible secret. He and his family have been unwitting subjects in a genetic experiment that began fifty years earlier in Nazi Germany.

And unless he can unravel the mystery, none of them—least of all Dr. David Myers—are safe.

A gripping, fast-paced medical thriller that will keep you guessing into the early hours of the morning. Perfect for fans of Robin Cook, Michael Crichton, and Freida McFadden. Grab your copy now!
