The Mendelian Protocol

Two genetic researchers are brutally slain on a remote beach in the Bahamas. The investigation falls to Dr. Natalie Franklin, the small-town Medical Examiner working on her first murder case. She doesn’t mind dealing with dead bodies, but dealing with her boss, the Chief of Police, is another matter entirely. As she struggles to make sense of the forensic clues, she vows to find answers to explain the bizarre evidence.
When researcher Greg Cooper is hired to analyze DNA for the Keller Corporation, he initially thinks he has landed in a tropical paradise. After a few days of crunching data, though, he realizes that his dream job is more of a tedious grind than anything else. Out of boredom, he begins to poke around and soon suspects that his employer is up to something unethical.
When Greg discovers another dead body, it seems like a horrible accident. At first, that’s what Dr. Natalie Franklin thinks, too. But it isn’t long before Greg and Natalie are racing to unlock the secret of the Mendelian Protocol before it overwhelms the island. Will they succeed or become two more victims of the evil that lurks under the Caribbean sun?
