Mystery/Detective Fiction This is the first in a detective series by this publisher which includes women's/family type themes and issues. A Perfect Child concerns Dr. Peter Martin, a psychiatrist and errant detective who discovers that the deaths of several beautiful and brilliant scholar-athletes at the nation's top universities are linked. He discovers that their genetic material is being harvested in order to create 'perfect' children for wealthy patrons who are otherwise unable to have the 'best' and 'perfect' children that they desire. More than just a fascinating, fast-paced detective story; at its core a love story between and father, son, and a wife, as they discover who they are, and what having a family really means. It also investigates, in an entertaining manner, many of the fertility related technologies which are changing the fundamentals of love, life, and family in our own time.
