Product Description Its a parents nightmare: the fertility doctor who tinkers with the very essence of a child. The Bill Damen series leaps onto a bigger and more ambitious canvas with the filmmakerturnedsleuths third case, one where life and death are chillingly intertwined. His cousins young daughter, Margaret, is kidnapped and murdered. Exposing a shadowy underworld of embryo engineering, Bill finds that the circumstances of Margarets birth have everything to do with her death. With the help of his new assistant, the dynamic and gorgeous Clementine, Bills investigation reveals that the latest reproductive technology is a dangerous new weapon in an ageless battle. Tagged by Booklist as fastpaced...with likeable good guys, nasty villains...and plenty of plot twists, the series grapples with the hard truth that science may change, but human nature does not. From Booklist Bay Area filmmaker Bill Damen is in the process of opening his own business, Damen Camerawork and Investigations, when his cousin Chris young daughter, Margaret, disappears and is later found murdered. Chris, the heir apparent to his fathers construction business, asks Bill to investigate. Was Margaret killed to keep the circumstances surrounding her birth a secret? Or was she killed by Indonesian gang members to scare the family away from a lucrative overseas construction project? Or did her own parents murder her because of her crippling medical bills? As Bill works the case, he comes to rely on his new assistant, the smart, flamboyant, and mysterious Clem, who adds considerable zest to this third installment in an increasingly entertaining series. Details of assisted reproduction and embryonic engineering frame the story, and fast pacing, lively characters, and a vivid sense of place keep the reader turning the pages.
