CAST OF SHADOWS

Fertility doctor Davis Moore abandons his professional ethics when, after his teenaged daughter is raped and murdered, he secretly uses her killer’s DNA and implants the clone into an unsuspecting client couple. His obsession to identify the killer by his resemblance to the cloned boy has wide-ranging consequences for the child, his parents, and for Moore as he comes to grips with the horror of what he has done. Scott Brick narrates this terrifying step into the near-future with intensity. The moral argument surrounding human cloning is at the heart of Guilfoile’s engrossing debut novel, but the characters, not the philosophy, drive the story. A chilling performance by Scott Brick offers listeners a rousing story wrapped in an issue-oriented debate. S.J.H.
