A dead man in the snow shatters Dr. Hope Sze's peaceful month of research at an Ottawa stem cell lab.

Hope discovers that one man's body leads to a series of corpses, both at home and around the globe.

This time, the killer knows no borders and no conscience.

Hope must extricate them all, while caught between the man who saved her life, the man who helps rebuild it, and a killer on an intercontinental rampage.

"Impressive. Massive scope. But also very complex and multi-faceted. Strikes straight at the heart of some of today's most controversial and

moving issues, through the hothouse world of big-bucks medical research. This is good stuff. Big stuff."Richard Quarry, Author of Midnight Choir
