During the Cold War, a Secret Service agent is murdered and atomic bomb blueprints are stolen. Intent on solving the crime, FBI agent Ben Connars soon finds himself trapped in an old obsession that almost destroyed his life.
When Ben's struggle to cope with it intersects with the phenomenon of "genetic memory," his drivenness takes on new force. He puts everything at risk, including the life of a young boy whose genetic memory could lead Ben to the killer.
from Genetic Witness:
And do you know what's even more terrifying than having to live in this hell? Waiting for it to happen again, and again, and again. But the funny thing is, I can't wait for it to get here. I even count the days, Cliff. Every day until March 19, because I want it to get here and be done with. It's the waiting that kills me.
Review: "The tangled plot of this first novel shuffles between past and present, but the prose remains the smooth and capable."
