CAST OF SHADOWS

In the near future, a fertility specialist secretly clones the DNA of his daughter's killer. When the clone, being raised by unsuspecting parents, grows to adulthood, he will become an exact duplicate of the murderous rapist, who, then, can be positively identified. But will he too mature into a sociopath? What about the ethics of the doctor's actions? Now age 3, does the child already contain a germ of evil? An intriguing premise is developed in an exciting debut thriller. Narrator James possesses an attractive baritone and excellent diction but lacks the skill to employ them on the book's behalf. There's little variety in his rhythms and melodies. Y.R. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE/JULY 05]
