From Booklist
Alison Greenall's father walked out on the family when Alison was a baby, launching a successful biotech company and eventually remarrying. Eighteen years later, Alison is shocked to receive an invitation from her father to visit. She accepts with trepidation and, after arriving, is stunned to learn that her father's lab has been broken into by pro-life activists who oppose stem-cell research. Then it turns out that Alison's father was also working on a mysterious anti-aging serum, which was stolen by the pro-lifers. Gradually, Alison begins to have doubts about what her father is really up to in his lab. Is he a brilliant molecular biologist or a mad scientist with dark and dangerous secrets? Well paced, suspenseful, and filled with philosophical ruminations about bioethics and medical research.
