Publisher Description

In a remote hill town in Italy, a renowned scientist enters the confessional. A dying man, he pours out the secret that has consumed his life for years - a sin of such magnitude that the shocked priest refuses him absolution.

In a suburb of Washington DC, Joe Lassiter's only sister and her young son have been killed in a sudden fire that engulfs their home. The police believe it was arson; they soon discover that mother and child were brutally murdered before the blaze was set.

As Lassiter tries to find out why they were killed, he comes to believe others may have been murdered in similar fashion. And still more people may die if he cannot discover the elusive connection that links the innocent victims together.

"John Case's writing style interweaves the likes of "Dan Brown's" historical intrigue and "Michael Crichton's" cutting edge technology and leaves you with great books like "The Genesis Code" that are impossible to put down. Ever since I read this book,I always pick up his next one when it comes out. He's an addictive writer."

    " This was just OK for me...it wasn't really what I was expecting and a lot slower paced than I usually like for this type of story. I saw quite a bit of it coming ahead of time, although the end "why" behind it all did surprise me. It wrapped up quickly and a little bit too easily, thought. "

  • Overall Performance: 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

    " Lots of language. Too long. Weird plot, with aspects of the story possibly stolen from Da Vinchi Code. (although I think this was published first.) Skip this read. I didn't even bother to finish, but did skip to the end to find out the lame ending. "

    " This was a really entertaining story, the first I've read of this author (who is actually two authors, a husband-wife writing team). The end was a little hokey, but minor quibbles aside, it was a very good book. I will definitely be reading other John Case novels. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " A fairly decent biomedical thriller in which a scientist/theologian discovers the key to totipotency (or genetic differentiation). By isolating nucleated DNA from religious relics and implanting it into women he attempts to recreate God in man's image. "

    " Another gripping read from Jim and Carolyn Hougan. Sometimes the hocus pocus science and religion contained a bit too much detailed bunkum, but it was a rip-roaring roller coaster from start to finish. Second time round read for me and it's still good stuff. "

    " love these books written by a former journalist and his wife under the pseudonym "john case". good investigative, globe-trotting mystery. could not put it down. people/children killed, FYI, but has a similar premise to ira levin's "the boys from brazil" - but that's all i'm gonna say. "

    " Frightening, thought-provoking, shiver inducing. Church and science clashing to bring back memories of old childhood fears of the destiny of sinners. Getting to know the players happens easily, the writing an A+. "

    " I was expecting a biomedical thriller, as is claimed on the cover. 158 of 467 pages in and no BIOMEDICAL anything. I feel ripped off. I think I'll finish off a chapter here and there just to get through it, but it definitely does not do justice to the claims. "

    " The premise of this book was VERY interesting. I read it over a decade ago, but if I remember correctly it was a bit rough on the language and violence at the beginning ( I think). I liked this book, but something about it made me not decide to read more by this offer. "
