Description

The Ruthless Gene by Sam O'Brien is a gripping thriller that delves into the world of genetics and epigenetics. In 2015, renowned equine geneticist Fiona Buckley's research lab was burgled, set ablaze, and her security guard murdered. Her husband, Johnny, a former champion jockey, died from a mysterious form of cancer just as his wife was starting to unravel the mystery. As Fiona digs deeper into the events surrounding her husband's death, she uncovers a web of deceit and corruption in the high-stakes world of breeding and selling elite racehorses. With her work holding the key to a revolutionary genetic discovery, Fiona must navigate a complex landscape of motives and alliances to uncover the truth. But can she trust those around her, or will she become the next victim? The Ruthless Gene is a tense thriller that explores the darker side of human ambition and the consequences of playing with nature's building blocks.
