CAIN’S BLOOD by Geoffrey Girard
Author: Geoffrey Girard
A terrifying novel about the evil in each of us… Developing new bio-weapons, the US Department of Defense has secretly cloned the world’s most notorious murderers, to study their DNA and isolate the genetic of evil. The program contains dozens of young men who have no clue of their evil heritage — including John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and the Son of Sam. Enacting a twisted game of nature vs. nurture, the scientists raise some of the clones with loving families and others in abusive circumstances to match their genetic forefathers. When the most dangerous boys are set free by their creator, escaping with three canisters of a mysterious chemical weapon that could destroy an entire city, it’s up to a former Army Ranger to stop them…with the help of a teenage killer clone. A man with demons of his own, former black ops soldier Shawn Castillo is hot on their trail. But Shawn didn’t count on the quiet young boy he finds hiding in an abandoned house; a boy who has just learned he is the clone of Jeffrey Dahmer. As Jeffrey and Castillo race across the country as unlikely allies on the trail of the rampaging teens’ increasing violence, Castillo must protect the boy who is the embodiment of his biggest fears and who may also be his last hope. More than just a serial killer novel, Cain’s Blood melds completely plausible science with terrifying horror, preying on our darkest fears of manipulation, secrecy, and murder.
