Peter Clement "Mutation"

Author: Peter Clement Title: Mutation Genre: Medical thriller Description: The story begins in Hawaii, where a young boy, the son of Dr. Sandra Arness, suddenly dies. The diagnosis is surprising—little Teddy has contracted bird flu. At the same time, Richard Steel, head of the emergency department in New York, attends a scientific conference where the issue of introducing genetically modified food and its impact on the environment will be discussed. Inspired by the work of a geneticist he meets there, Kathleen Sullivan—who has been waging a war against major biotechnology corporations for years—he begins a private investigation. Soon, someone will attempt to murder Richard and Kathleen, which only confirms to the protagonists that the companies truly have something to hide. However, no one suspects that certain dangerous individuals want to use the achievements of modern genetics not only to improve crop quality, but also to carry out terrorist attacks... I also highly recommend Clement’s *The Inquisitor* and *Critical Condition*!
