Excellent new author. Biogenetic in-vitro fertilization of DNA from Jesus Christ. ( )

Case starts by puzzling his reader. And he does it well. You really want to continue reading, and find out what it is about.
But it looses tempo. Not immediately, but the novel changes shape. The main character’s seeking switches heading. Towards the more boring, unfortunately.

But as a whole it is a thriller worth reading, well researched. And – actually deeply ethically thought-provoking in its core.

Case inleder med att sätta griller i huvudet på läsaren. Och han gör det bra. Man vill verkligen läsa vidare, och få reda på vad det rör sig om.
Men det tappar fart. Inte genast, men romanen byter karaktär. Huvudpersonens sökande ändrar inriktning. Till det tråkigare, tyvärr.

Men som helhet är det en väl läsvärd spänningsroman, väl underbyggd. Och - faktiskt - djupt etiskt tänkvärd i sin kärna. ( )

I was able to guess what's behind the murders of mothers and their very young sons long before investigator Joe Lassiter did, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment of this exciting and thoughtful thriller that mixes science and faith in with its action.

Genetic engineering and cloning are explored in this thriller and it did make me wonder, what if? I have enjoyed all of John Case's novels so far. ( )

While easy to catch onto the premise of the book, it has twists and turns to keep on wondering how to escape. Timely, feasible, scary. Good characters and insight. ( )

Formula thriller with a Da Vinci Code flavour, published BEFORE the Da Vinci Code, only without the latter's inexplicable sales success. ( )
