Theo’s father was a geneticist blown up by an extremist organisation which would kill Theo too, if it found him.
Rachel’s Dad once worked at the same genetic laboratory. Theo contacts Rachel and they join forces to try to discover the secret of his birth.
Their activities lead them into great danger and a rescue which turns out to be just as terrifying. Forcibly separated, Rachel is determined to find Theo. Together again, they face some hard truths about their identities and their parents. Can they live with their discoveries? Can their new-found love have any future?
This is a compelling and complex thriller with nail-biting action, real, likeable characters and a satisfying ending.
