Drop of Evil

by M. Arthur

At a remote research station in Iceland, Professor Robert Collins unravels the genetic roots of good and evil. Conqueror or savior, all that's needed is a simple blood test. Hunted by world powers, Collins is on the run with the beautiful but deeply damaged spy, Gabby Furhman. To save themselves, they have to find the three people with enough of the genetic material to change the world; a Catholic cardinal, a computer whiz kid and an illegal arms dealer.

Blending science and heart pounding action, Drop of Evil is an edge of your seat thriller. Gabby Furhman is damaged but brilliant. She distrusts people on a primal level. Her fail safe, kill Professor Collins to protect the research. Professor Collins has a failed marriage, a lack of friends and a deeply guarded secret, all attributed to his research. It’s no love story. Their union will end with one of them shot and bleeding on the desert sand, the other holding the gun.

About the author

I live in beautiful Bend, Oregon and when I am not writing thrillers, I am likely busy at work as a television anchor. Not a bad day job, I don't complain much.

Reviews

[Colleen Ray · Rating 1 out of 5]

This may be a great story, but I found it too disjointed to get into. I'd just start to figure out who was who and what each character was doing, when the author would jump to another story line. I'm sure eventually all the plot points would converge, but I just couldn't stick with it long enough to fnd out. This would be much more readable if the chapters weren't so short and choppy.

Abandoned at about 20%.

Rip-roaring good spy thriller with a dose of Da Vinci Code style science questioning the origin of evil in all of us.
