Naomi et John ont perdu leur fils de quatre ans, Halley, emporté par une maladie génétique rare. Ils sont aujourd'hui prêts à tout pour ne plus revivre un tel cauchemar. Même à l'insensé : faire appel aux services d'un généticien génial, mais très controversé. Pour 400 000 dollars, le docteur Dettore leur garantit un bébé en bonne santé. Comment résister à pareille promesse ? Ils auraient pourtant dû être alertés par la liste qu'on leur a remise : choix de la couleur des yeux, de la taille, des traits de caractère, des aptitudes sportives.

The hate is deep. The death is slow. The cause is silent. You know that Atlanta PD has given up on a case when they call in Dr. Damon Keane. The sleuth scientist is quietly famous in forensic circles for unraveling the most daunting technical puzzles, but this case is bewildering. Two people are already dead. The third victim, a priest, is dying by inches in an Atlanta hospital, and the cause is a complete mystery to doctors and detectives alike.

How we loved to string crocheted hearts in trees? How our hearts steadily unravelled? So I begin with A. Adam’s apple. Will you be there to catch me when I fall?
