Through her research on twins and the genetic components of
aggression, scientist Jeannie Ferrami makes a startling discovery.
Using a restricted FBI database, she finds two young men who appear
to be identical twins: Steve, a law student, and Dennis: a
convicted murderer. Yet they were born on different days, to
different mothers, in hospitals hundreds of miles apart. As Ferrami
delves into their backgrounds, she unwittingly locks horns with
some of the most powerful forces in America, including the
university where she works, The New York Times, even the Pentagon.
What secret has Ferrami uncovered? Can she trust her boss and
mentor, or must she put her life in the hands of Steve Logan, the
twin she finds herself falling in love with--even though he''s
surrounded by intrigue and suspicion? But one thing is certain:
There are those who will stop at nothing to keep their chilling
conspiracy in the shadows. . . .
