More about the book

Frank and Susan Merril's long struggle to have a child of their own had finally paid off. But what had been their life long dream, quickly became their worst nightmare. The morning after the birth of her daughter, Jessica Ann, Susan began to convince herself that the child in her arms was not the child she gave birth to. Unable to convince her husband or the hospital staff of her concerns, she turned to the authorities. One man, FBI Agent Donald Hendricks, believed Susan and agreed to investigate the claim. But shortly thereafter, Susan passes away. Four months later, in a small town in Michigan, identical twin newborns burn to death in their hospital room. Sheriff Ernest Waters investigates, but the case is taken over by the FBI under the command of Agent Donald Hendricks. What follows is a trail of death and infant disappearances uncovered, not by Hendricks, but by Sheriff Waters, who then ends up running for his life. The novel will have the reader asking questions about recent medical and genetic breakthroughs that they might have otherwise considered uneventful.
