The perfect baby is only an appointment away…

It’s the year 2053, when wealthy couples visit designer-baby companies to create the perfect child. Ex-cop Finnegan Cooper is hired to investigate the unexplained failure of one couple’s embryos at Melgen, the world’s premier designer-baby consultancy.  When his client dies the next day in a suspicious car accident, Finn fears the client’s widow will be the next target. 

Determined to save her, Finn plunges into the shadowy world of genetic engineering, digging into an activist group opposed to genetic modification, an aggressive rival firm in China, and a shadowy presence inside Melgen itself. With danger closing in, he must race to unravel the deadly and complicated web of deceit before unknown assailants succeed in their attempts to end his investigation through deadly force.
