To conceive a child, Christine Crane undergoes an embryo implantation, unaware that the embryo has been genetically altered in an experiment-one funded by her own husband. The child, Daniel, seems normal at first. But the experiment has a serious consequence. Once past adolescence, Daniel manifests strange powers. Medical tests offer contradictory analyses that can be accounted for only by a form of autism. Soon at the workshop where was created, hang investigations of police. Meanwhile, a series of murders appears to be linked to Daniel's father, Harmond, whose fame and power grows with his oil company. Although his condition seems to doom Daniel to a premature death, he stands to inherit an oil empire from his father, and he places himself in the care of a doctor who seems to be the only one able to find a solution to his case. Nominated for a Nobel Prize for her synthesis of a drug to fight mental disorders, Diane Krueger is at first fascinated by Daniel's high-profile case. She soon falls in love with him-yet her own quiet investigations lead her to discover a horrifying truth. Set in the world of genetic testing, Into the Experiment is a thriller that pushes the boundaries of the genre. This compelling story explores a world full of shadows and greed-a dark world where love is the only ray of light and, ultimately, life proves to be a force impossible to control completely.
