Winner 2013 National Indie Excellence Award for Literary Fiction. The God Gene is a satirical thriller about Rosalind Evans, a beautiful, determined 36-year-old molecular biologist from Chicago who is seeking a cure for the leukemia that killed her daughter. When word leaks that she has found the Ten Commandments spelled out in the genetic code, all hell breaks loose as powerful religious and political leaders conspire to silence her and discredit the God Gene. With the media fanning the flames, Evans becomes the scapegoat in a bizarre public controversy. Whether it is a hoax, an act of sabotage, or a message from God, the so-called God Gene is having a profound effect on people. A pharma executive wants her fired, the Vatican wants her silenced, and the U.S. Attorney wants her arrested. She must battle some of the most powerful institutions on earth to reclaim her freedom, her scientific integrity, and ultimately her life.
