Science Fiction Suspense/Thriller | Young Adult Science Fiction
A terrifying debut novel about the evil in each of us: when
clones of infamous serial killers escape from a secret
government facility, it’s up to a former Army Ranger to
stop them…with the help of a teenage killer clone.
Trying to develop a new breed of bio-weapons, the US
Department of Defense has secretly cloned the world’s most
notorious murderers, hoping to study their DNA and isolate a
genetic predictor for evil. Now in Stage Three, the program
contains dozens of young men who have no clue of their evil
heritage—including Albert Fish, Ted Bundy, and David
Berkowitz. Enacting a twisted game of nature vs. nurture,
the scientists raise some of the clones with loving families
and others in abusive circumstances. But everything changes
when the most dangerous boys are set free by their
creator—escaping with three canisters of a mysterious
chemical weapon that could destroy an entire city. A man with demons of his own, former black ops soldier Shawn
Castillo is hot on their trail. But Shawn didn’t count on
the quiet young boy he finds hiding in an abandoned
house—a boy who has just learned he is the clone of
Jeffrey Dahmer. As Jeffrey and Castillo race across the
country as unlikely allies on the trail of the rampaging
teens’ increasing violence, Castillo must protect the boy
who is the embodiment of his biggest fears—and who may
also be his last hope. More than just a serial killer novel, Cain’s Blood melds
completely plausible science with terrifying horror, preying
on our darkest fears of manipulation, secrecy, and murder.
