On a chilly, moonless and sinister night, the Personal Assistant to the webmaster of the American Biometrics and DNA genome databank is murdered and the security of the database breached by cyber-criminals. Later, a woman in the throes of labor is abducted in Sacramento together with her newly born child. Her husband, a leading Professor of Egyptology left in a comatose condition. The motive of the hackers and attackers initially seemed unclear, until the abducted woman was found to be the bloodline of Franco-American longevity icons Jeanne Calment-Mary Christian ancestry. Then the world of human organ transplantation goes askew in a burst of international espionage, adventure and intrigue.
