His wife Leah is a Genetisis on the verge of a major medical breakthrough. Within days of giving a lecture on cell morphogenesis, girls that attended Dr. Stone's lecture are found murdered. Now the killer has his sights set on her. The killer not only seems to know them, but their every move - even phoning Max from the very restaurant where they dined. Max, chilled by the realization that he may not be able to save Leah, will have to bend more than rules to get at the truth. Nothing less than a profound medical discovery, the lives of innocent students in the killer's sights, and his wife, are at stake.
