The most exhilarating thriller debut since Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain.

Imagine you are a cloning specialist confronted with the rape and murder of your teenage daughter. What would you do if the police drew a blank in their investigations but mistakenly sent you DNA from the crime scene ... DNA you could use to clone the killer? How far would you go to look into the eyes of your child's killer?

Justin Finn, at three, looks like any other child. But his face, one day, will be the exact match of the cold-blooded killer of whom he is a perfect genetic replica.

And Justin Finn at fifteen has developed an unhealthy obsession with the Wicker Man, a notorious serial killer who prowls the streets of Chicago.

Don't miss this original and breathtaking novel that will unsettle you and compel you in equal measure.
