The Enoch Effect

Readers looking for a unique blend of science, murder mystery, and legal thriller will find much to enjoy with Acker (Death in the Mind’s Eye), who moved to Amazon’s Waterfall Press after a stint in traditional Christian publishing. His newest novel pits lawyers from opposing sides of an insurance claim who must work together—on the judge’s orders—to discover the real story behind a fire at biotech megacorporation Biosolutions and the death of Dr. Rhodes, a preeminent cancer researcher. Daniel Rubinelli represents Biosolutions and Leigh Collins represents their insurer, American Guaranty. As the two reluctantly join forces, it quickly becomes apparent that more than the insurance payout is at stake. What was Dr. Rhodes really working on? Who is the mysterious woman who keeps showing up? Who is paying the gunmen who wants them dead? As the mystery unfolds, readers will be drawn into the ethics of gene therapy and the tentative relationship between the lawyers. Acker both entertains and challenges readers’ thinking on what is truly good for humankind, finely blending genres into an intricate moral tale. [em](May) [/em]
