Genetopia — Mary Walsh

Julia Landsfield is missing. Her kindred spirit and next door neighbor, Deidre O'Shaughnessy, who is a top-notch D.C. investigative reporter, won't rest until she finds her. Julia's parents are killed in a car accident when their car plunges off the 14th Street Bridge. Deidre, her father Congressman John Henry O'Shaughnessy and FBI agent Mike Callahan, along with a handful of intrepid souls, are about to uncover an unbelievable web of political corruption. The subsequent investigation follows a convoluted path through a Washington quagmire of politics, medicine and greed enabled by the machinery of a highly lucrative, organ harvesting trade. Project Genetopia's tentacles sink into far too many places, and its influence is too entrenched to go quietly into the night. There will be no opposition. The nation stands on the verge of a constitutional leadership crisis. The middle of the road is gone. Will ordinary people have the courage to do extraordinary things?
