Another doctors-&-cops adrenalin-packed thriller: The extraordinary event of little Jesse's birth could be considered miraculous -- or an abomination. Now doctors Jill Raney and David Levine stand between the helpless infant and a religious fanatic bent on destruction.

Review

Readers Favorite says, "...a classic murder mystery with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end. The hospital setting, characters, and premise are all fully developed, pulling you into the heart of a gripping story. Masterfully, the author takes you into the minds of the characters, exposing their inner fears, their religious interpretations and, in more than one case, their lunacy. I strongly recommend this book to all mystery lovers."
The Kindle Book Review: "...truly scary and chilling with an intense storyline and non-stop action. It goes at a breakneck pace with few lulls to let you catch your breath."
Trista Borgwardt: "These books really have quite a few amazing dynamics. First is Jill and David's relationship. We have been able to watch it grow and blossom into a deep and serious relationship. Jill is emotional, stubborn, reckless, intuitive, and brilliant - and the teamwork of these two doctors with the police is amazing."

Embryo ..... Is a malignant genius tinkering with women's bodies?
Embryo 2: Crosshairs ... A killer stalks women & an unborn baby.
Embryo 3: Raney & Levine...A murderous religious zealot threatens women ("sinners!"), a newborn, and a hospital.
Embryo 4: Catch Me ... A serial killer just targets couples.
Embryo 5: Silver Girl ... A beautiful young TV star dies mysteriously... What created the idea for the first Embryo? **
The idea came like a lightening bolt when hearing a conversation between J.A.'s husband (who did OB before switching to Cardiology), and an Ob/Gyn friend who was excited about IVF and its advances in curing diseases in utero. As an author who had already published fiction and non-fiction, J.A. thought about all human discoveries - from fire to atomic energy - and the fact that they can be either good or very bad if they fall into the wrong hands. It was a thought that wouldn't let go.
