JM Mystery-thriller #6A
The Shadow Chaser
Bold and different. A rollercoaster thrill ride against a backdrop of genetics research straight out of today’s headlines. Should appeal to fans of Michael Crichton and Robin Cook.

Andre Lemoine, one of the world's leading geneticists, is on the verge of the medical breakthrough of the a link with rare primates that could unlock a vital key in the search for a cure for AIDS and cancer.
But part of Andre's quest is driven by a pressing medical threat within his own family, and when his breakthrough brings him into conflict with two ambitious ruthless rivals - it plunges Andre into the race of his life; a race which takes Andre from the dark jungles of Africa and Brazil to the seamy backstreets of Paris and Philadelphia. A nightmare world of thieves, hookers and pimps, lab bombers and FBI agents - far removed from the safety of his lab bench.
For Andre the stakes have never been higher. Because, as the threat to those Andre loves looms stronger, it becomes a race through the shadows of his family's dark past to, ultimately, face death head-on.
A thumping great read and a terrific tale, terrifically told.
