New York Times-bestselling author Robin Cook takes
on the cutting-edge world of gene-modification in this
pulse-pounding new medical thriller.
When an unidentified, seemingly healthy young woman
collapses suddenly on the New York City subway and dies upon
reaching the hospital, her case is an eerie reminder for
veteran medical examiner Jack Stapleton of the 1918 flu
pandemic. Fearful of a repeat on the one hundredth
anniversary of the nightmarish contagion, Jack autopsies the
woman within hours of her demise and discovers some striking
anomalies: first, that she has had a heart transplant, and
second, that, against all odds, her DNA matches that of the
transplanted heart.
Although the facts don't add up to influenza, Jack must race
against the clock to identify the woman and determine what
kind of virus could wreak such havoc--a task made more
urgent when two other victims succumb to a similar rapid
death. But nothing makes sense until his investigation leads
him into the fascinating realm of CRISPR/CAS9, a
gene-editing biotechnology that's captured the imagination
of the medical community. . . and the attention of its most
unethical members. Drawn into the dark underbelly of the
organ transplant market, Jack will come face-to-face with a
megalomaniacal businessman willing to risk human lives in
order to conquer a lucrative new frontier in medicine--and
if Jack's not careful, the next life lost might be his own.
