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.
