Thriller Medical
Mark of the Beast: A searing medical thriller by
Adolphus A. Anekwe, a renowned doctor, about the
ramifications of isolating a gene that causes violent behavior Dr. Regina Dickerson is a Catholic physician in San Diego
who has discovered that there is a certain genetic marker
that indicates the carrier is prone to psychotic violence.
Working on blood from prison inmates, her theory begins to
prove itself time and again with violent offenders. The
variety of crimes is diverse: one couple murders their
children for organ money, another man kidnaps young girls to
seduce and kill them, yet another has a penchant for cyanide. As Dickerson's work begins to show results and catches the
attention of the media, people begin to fear that
witch hunts and Spanish Inquisition–style mayhem will result
if forcible testing is carried out. Meanwhile, a race begins
to find a cure. With science and religion at odds, Dickerson
must find her own answers while trying to escape those who
want to put an end to her inflammatory research.
