Publisher's Summary

He knows the secret, she knows the truth....

“The list. You’re on the list. God’s chosen Gene.” 

When children’s hospital volunteer and high-school student Gene Adamson hears the words of the dying man, the gunman who used him as a shield after murdering a prominent geneticist, Gene thinks the man delirious. But then the bodies of killer and victim disappear from the morgue, and a 10-year-old girl desperately needing a heart transplant is mysteriously bumped from her number-one spot on the organ-recipient list. 

The list. What is the list? Gene, together with Jeanne Everston, the beautiful daughter of the murdered geneticist, appears to have stumbled onto a medical conspiracy so deadly the very knowledge of its existence marks them for death. 

As a child’s life hangs in the balance, Gene believes he’s discovered the answer. He thinks he’s cracked the conspiracy wide open. He is so wrong.
