Book Description:
A phone call in the dead of night brings Joe Lassiter shattering news. His sister and young nephew have died in a fire in their home near Washington, D.C. Yet Lassiter soon learns a chilling fact: His loved ones were brutally murdered before the blaze was set. . . .

The mysterious suspect's identity only raises more questions. Then Lassiter uncovers another crime--another innocent mother and child murdered. The more he unearths, the larger the web of conspiracy grows, as his search for answers leads him on a dangerous international chase toward a truth that will shock him--and the world--to the very bone. . . .

Though there really are no similarities story-wise, the - attitude - for lack of a better word - the attitude of this book brings you to the same shady, conspiracy feeling of The DaVinci Code. I personally found the protagonist in The Genesis Code a much more likeable character. And his "lady-love" was surprising! I really love reading religious/conspiracy fiction; which is surprising because I'm a Born Again believer. And this one is right up there with the best of them! Very well written mystery making you work to figure out - not WHO done it, but WHY done it!

John Case is a mastermind of suspense and mystery. This book was as good as DaVinci Code!

Good read. Very remeniscent of the DaVinci Code with an ultraconservative branch of the Catholic Church once again wreaking havoc.

A scientific murder mystery involving crimes where mothers and children are involved. A fast-paced thriller you can't put down.

This was my first book by the author (actually 2 authors writing as one). I really liked the book from the beginning. It grabbed my attention from the beginning and held my interest throughout. I plan to read more from this author. If you like a good mystery, with lots of twists and turns, this is the book for you!
